What to Expect in Our Empowered Hospital Birth Class
If you’ve been considering a hospital birth class, you may be wondering what the Looma experience is like. What actually happens in class? How is it different from other childbirth courses? Here’s an inside look at our Empowered Hospital Birth class in Long Beach, a space designed to leave you informed, confident, and connected.
Class structure
Our classes are thoughtfully designed to feel engaging and personal, not like a lecture. You can expect:
Small group or private sessions: Choose the format that works best for your learning style and comfort.
Interactive teaching: We combine clear explanations with opportunities for discussion and practice.
Hands-on learning: You won’t just hear about comfort measures, you’ll practice them together, so they feel familiar when labor begins.
Space for questions: We leave plenty of room for conversation. Your unique concerns matter, and we want you to leave feeling truly prepared.
Topics we cover
The Empowered Hospital Birth class is comprehensive yet digestible. We focus on:
The stages of labor: What’s happening in your body, how to recognize progress, and what to expect emotionally and physically.
Hospital procedures and policies: From inductions to monitoring, you’ll learn your options and how to navigate them.
Pain management choices: Explore both medical and non-medical options, so you can choose what feels aligned for you.
Partner support strategies: Your partner will gain practical skills to help you feel safe, comforted, and cared for.
Advocacy tools: Learn how to communicate with hospital staff respectfully while standing firm in your preferences.
Outcomes parents love
Families consistently tell us they walk away from class feeling:
Confident: With a deeper understanding of what’s to come and how to handle it.
Connected: With their partner, with other local families, and with their own intuition.
Prepared: Equipped with practical tools and strategies to support every stage of labor.
Empowered: Ready to step into birth not as passive patients, but as active participants in a meaningful rite of passage.
Why this class is different
Unlike hospital-based classes that often focus on rules and routines, our Empowered Hospital Birth class is about your choices, your voice, and your journey. We honor your intuition while grounding our teaching in evidence-based information and years of birth experience.
