Instructor Barbara C. Mafnas, RN, LCCE, CLC, IBCLC Lamaze® Classes: A combination of relaxation, breathing techniques, comfort measures and position changes that are designed to help during labor and birth. We stress that partners are essential throughout labor, birth, postpartum and parenting.

Please bring: a pillow, blanket, tennis ball, snacks and water. Moms need to wear shorts or slacks and comfortable shoes as you’ll be doing some floor work!

Baby Bonding: Designed to help mothers and fathers gain confidence as they pick up on feeding cues and other needs of their babies. The class includes the first hours after birth, breastfeeding and feeding cues.

Prenatal Care:

A class specially designed for parents who choose Sagua Mañagu, covering pregnancy from positive pregnancy test through third trimester, then onto childbirth and newborn care. The first part of the class includes procedures and care during pregnancy, good nutrition and exercise as well as answers to common questions regarding discomforts, early warning signs, sexual activity, the effects of alcohol, smoking and recreational drugs. The second part is an orientation to Sagua Mañagu that includes patient rights and responsibilities, the differences between birthing centers and hospitals; family involvement; newborn care here and what to expect when you go home.

Orientation: A class specifically designed for those desiring a Sagua Mañagu birth experience.

This class touches on the natural childbirth philosophy, patient rights, expectations and more. Learn the basic differences between hospital birth and a Sagua birth and make an informed choice.

Sibling Class: Designed for parents and children.

Discussion of child involvement in the labor process and emotional aspects of being with mom at this time. Also covers mother/child relationship changes and expectations. Film “Lizzie and the Baby” addresses relationship changes, doctors visits with mom, animated growth of the fetus, how baby is born, what new baby’s look like, what they can do, how to hold them and more!

Baby Daddy Class: Designed exclusively for dads to help increase their confidence in becoming a new dad. Dads will have better understanding of his woman, recognize the classic signs of labor and what to do, verbalize 3 feeding cues of the newborn, understand relationships and dynamics, and understand his role as the new dad.

Parenting & Safety: This 2-hour class helps parents understand the importance of interacting with their baby and understanding growthanddevelopment to provide realistic expectations. The class will also use open discussion to talk about subjects as discipline, prevention of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and Shaken Baby Syndrome. Life skills such as basic infant CPR will be included.

Breastfeeding Social: Each Saturday and Tuesday is set aside for mothers who are breastfeeding to come together and share experiences and express concerns and find answers with the guidance of a lactation consultant.

Hypno Birth Classes:

A specialized childbirth class where the mother learns about the art of self-hypnosis during childbirth. It is recommended that classes be taken in early pregnancy for the maximum effect during birth. Call Barbara Mafnas personally to schedule your session.
