Classes to Prepare for Life with Baby at Om Baby Center
by Gisele M. Siebold O
m Baby Center, in Camp Hill, supports parents through the journey of pregnancy, child- birth and parenting with a variety of classes that educate and prepare them. Om Baby symbolizes the con- nection between a parent and baby or child, bringing together a union of mind, body and spirit to affirm this new blessing.
Childbirth Classes This four-week series is based on a heart-centered approach that preg- nancy, labor and birth is a transforma- tive experience. Topics and exercises include creating and preparing for an ideal birth experience, recognizing and understanding the labor process, relaxation and comfort techniques, labor support, understanding options, communication and more.
Prenatal Yoga This class is designed to be a special opportunity for pregnant women to enjoy each other’s company as they learn the wisdom that the ancient
practice of yoga contributes to the process of creating life and giving birth. Expectant mothers learn breath- ing exercises to calm the mind and soothe the nervous system, as well as stretching and strengthening postures that help release and tone the pelvic floor, allowing for an easier birth and enhanced postnatal healing. Through visualizations and meditation, prena- tal yoga helps to build a harmonious bridge of contact with the baby during pregnancy and beyond.
Meet the Doulas This includes an overview of what dou- las do, the benefits of doula services and how to find the right doula. Birth doulas from the community participate to answer parents’ questions. Time will also be provided for parents to meet individually with doulas in a “speed dating” format.
Placenta Encapsulation Dehydrated placenta capsules are an easy, palatable way to give the body the nutrients and hormones it was meant
to have. Mothers that take placenta capsules have more energy, experience fewer emotional issues and report a faster, more enjoyable postpartum re- covery period. Mothers also experience a more deeply connected bonding time with their babies, and often breastfeed for a longer period.
Baby Care Basics This class includes educational tips on caring for a newborn with Q&A and discussion.
Breastfeeding Workshop This activity teaches the many benefits of breastfeeding, proper latching tech- niques, position holding, tips for bal- ancing moms’ needs with the demands of a newborn, when to call the lactation counselor and more.
