Childbirth Educators should understand the fears associated with pregnancy and birth that pregnant clients and their families face. This session will propose that fear and anxiety are normal emotions that may be anticipated by our clients and can be positively included in a childbirth class teaching coping strategies for birth and beyond. A three-step childbirth class activity to encourage clients to discover fears and develop a positive coping strategy will be shared.

Participants may earn 1.0 Lamaze Contact Hour and 1.0 hour of CNE (through CBRN) for attending this webinar and completing the participant evaluation. Provider approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing, Provider Number 15932 for 1.0 contact hours.
