The news of expecting a baby can be exciting and thrilling for couples, at the same time this journey can bring about mixed emotions of anxiety and fear regarding the wellbeing of the baby, the pain while birthing, uncertainty, outcome of birth and sometimes even the lack of confidence and knowledge of taking care of the baby and yourself..

Birth without Fear childbirth classes take inspiration from the Lamaze philosophy of birth and introduce you to the practices at Fernandez Hospital. The goal of these evidence-based classes is to make the expectant couple feel confident, supported, and empowered to make informed decisions and navigate their way through pregnancy, birth and parenthood with positivity and joy!
