Preparation for Childbirth Program
Preparation for childbirth as part of peaceful parenting

As leaders of Attachment Parenting International of Peoria, Illinois, we would like to inform you about an innovative childbirth program that we are offering to pregnant women and their partners.

Connecting early with baby begins with prenatal preparation and alert, active participation in childbirth. You can make informed decisions about the kind of birth you want that will help create a positive experience for you and your baby. After much planning and preparation, API of Peoria is very pleased to announce our own Preparation for Childbirth program. 

What does the program consist of?
 
API of Peoria Childbirth Classes taught by our own Hilary Shirven, Certified Childbirth Educator and Doula.  Why take classes?  Our birth experiences affect the way we mother and how we feel about ourselves. These feelings surrounding birth stay with us. Therefore, it is essential for women to educate themselves for a satisfying birth experience. Our goal is to give you straight, evidence-based information on all your birth options.
 
Integrated Yoga taught by Julie Carnegie Reams, A DONA Certified Birth Doula and approved Birth Doula Trainer Julie combines her detailed knowledge of the pregnant body with the Universal Principles of Alignment to help prepare expectant mothers for the rigors and joys of childbirth. 
 
Help us spread the word about API of Peoria's new Preparation for Childbirth program.  It is unique in the community, as it combines childbirth education with prenatal exercise of the body and spirit. This blends together to create a holistic approach to preparing for baby–it’s sustenance for the body, mind, and soul all in one place!
