Childbirth Education

Aspen Birth Center

It takes strength to listen to and trust our bodies, to welcome labor, to give ourselves over to the task of birth.

It is a strength that all women have, although we may not realize it is within us. Birth has a lot to do with courage, and it is good to feel ourselves being courageous – to open ourselves to birth and embrace this singular life experience.

We are here for you, every step of the way.

Class Descriptions & Resources

Childbirth Preparation Series
This is a series of classes (two or three weeks) covering labor, delivery, relaxation, anesthesia, C-section, postpartum, breastfeeding and newborn care.

Childbirth Preparation Class
This is a single class version of our Childbirth Preparation Series for busy parents, those who prefer weekend classes, or parents who simply need a refresher. This one-day class covers all of the same content as our multi-week series. (Snacks are provided during the day, but it is recommended to bring a lunch).

Birth Center Navigations
In addition to OB Pre-Admission Navigations, we are pleased to offer tours of the Aspen Birth Center, with one of our nurses. We kindly request that patients are at least 36 weeks along, in order to schedule this service. An abbreviated version of Childbirth Preparation content will be provided, as well as a review of the consent paperwork.

Tuesdays, 2-4:00 pm. By appointment only.

Please call the Aspen Birth Center at 970.544.1130.

 

Our team has put together a resource library of helpful handouts, which may be referred to during our Childbirth Education class(es). They are also available as references for families seeking more information about these important topics!
