So apparently when you get pregnant, you’re supposed to head straight to Google and type in “Lamaze classes in Montreal” and then get really confused when you realize they don’t truly exist. Prenatal classes in Montreal, and every other city really, have changed since the 70s and 80s.
If you’re in your 30s or 40s you’ll remember the movie scenes of pregnant women and their husbands all sitting in a room, laying on blankets or yoga mats. A man, looking awkward and uncomfortable in his sweatpants or his work clothes. Sitting in-between his legs would be his very pregnant wife, with her permed hair and headband on, and they’d be ready to learn how to breathe during childbirth.
Oh boy- were they ever ready! The instructor would show videos of a birth and all their faces would show a look of shock, eyes wide open, jaws hanging wide, and more than likely one of the men would pass out.
Next, they’d practice huffing and puffing their way through some labour breathing techniques in that familiar “hee-hee-whoooo” way we all know.
End Scene.
This isn’t the case anymore!
We find many couple surprised to walk into our prenatal classes to find that they won’t be sitting on the floor. The TV we have set up is not to show scary or vintage birth videos. Our teaching style isn’t to lecture or drone on and on and we won’t make you do anything you’re not comfortable doing.
Instead, we’ve set up these classes for 2018. For the modern parent. So, forget your mom’s Lamaze classes and join us for classes that are:
- Refreshingly honest.
- Hilarious, so you actually have fun
- Full of useful information
- Comfortable and judgment-free
We can’t wait for you to join us!
