Is money, time, energy, effort, or childcare preventing you from taking an important childbirth class?
Consider taking this 2-hour one-day only course in Silver Spring with affordable, on-site babysitting services!
This class will NOT replace a full course in the Bradley®, Lamaze®, or Hypnobirthing® methods, but if you are confused by these choices or cannot take one of these classes, this course offers an inexpensive option!
