Perinatal Mood Disorders

Recognizing you have started laboring can spark worry, unless you feel clear on what to actually do! 

Download Your Guide to Early Labor, the same set of recommendations we walk through in our childbirth prep series: The Complete Childbirth Experience. Inside:

• exactly what to do if labor starts at night versus during the day
• how to rest and sleep through early contractions
• what to eat and drink to keep your body fueled for the work ahead
• how to keep your mind calm and protect your space

It's yours to download and keep.

The Complete Childbirth Experience is our 4-week, in-person, live and interactive childbirth class on the Upper West Side. Over four weeks you'll cover:

• Labor & Childbirth (weeks 1–3)
• Infant & Toddler CPR (week 4)
• Lactation & Newborn Care (week 4)

You'll also get a customized class workbook, additional video trainings, office hours with the Manhattan Birth team, and our full resource lists — recommended reading, practitioners, and trusted resources for childbirth around NYC.

More than a team of instructors, meet our supportive and loving community devoted to compassionate support for professional birth workers, parents and parents-to-be.
