About Cheri Purpur Expertise I can answer questions about pregnancy, labor and birth. I am especially skilled in the areas of home birth and water birth. I am not interested in answering questions about possible pregnanacies from people taking risks with sexual behavior.
Experience I am an RN and a retired midwife. I had a home birth midwifery practice. I have taught prenatal classes for many years and I train Doulas.
Question i am 6 or 7 weeks pregnant and i was wondering when i should start taking pregnancy clases and lamaze classes. this is my first pregnancy and i want to do everything right. please have the answer for me thank you so much for your help.
Answer Okay Tiffany. First- get this book- Ina May's Guide to Childbirth by Ina May Gaskin- read it!! Next, find your nearest Bradley Childbirth class and sign up now- they fill up fast. Go to the Bradley Childbirth website and find the info there. Then get a book called Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way by Susan McCutcheon- start reading it and following the guidelines in it- especially regarding your food intake. Hope that helps- Cheri.
