It's #TeachMeTuesday! Today we are talking about WHEN to take childbirth education classes. It is recommended that you begin taking childbirth education classes in your fifth month of pregnancy. You will learn information that will benefit you throughout your pregnancy like healthy nutrition and appropriate exercise.

Even though beginning your childbirth education classes in the fifth month is recommended, it is never too early (or too late!) to start! Our website has more information about childbirth education, our classes, and class schedule. #childbirtheducation #childbirth #childbirtheducationtoronto #torontochildbirtheducator #birth #beprepared #thebradleymethod #themoreyouknow #knowledgeispower #secondtrimester #pregnancyisbeautiful #pregnancy #momtobe (at http://opetchildbirthservices.com)
