Childbirth Education for Pops: Hosted at a local Edmonton pub!

Join our team in an informal and conversational gathering full of camaraderie and support. Full Circle's Pops & Pints class is run in local pub setting in Edmonton, Alberta. Discussions are informal and will be catered toward the needs of the group. Topics may include the following:

  • Supporting partners through the birth journey. What you can say to make things more cope able.
  • Hormones at birth, they are the helpers and what to do to help actively with pain relief
  • The BIG day: what to expect in the labour room, how to actively help with pain relief and full-on support through labour. We'll also cover why the first hour following birth is so important to baby and the parents.
  • All about becoming a father! The ins and outs of this new role. 
  • Breastfeeding basics: a father's support, or lack thereof, greatly impacts a woman's success and longevity to breastfeed.
  • Postpartum adjustments for the entire family, including our furry friends as well.​
  • Nesting and welcoming your baby home! Getting ready for the new boss of the household.

These gatherings will help dads gain practical knowledge on being a positive influence on their family, while setting realistic expectations and goals for the postpartum period. Although you know your partner best, we'll also cover some tips on 'how to be a loving support to the mother of your child' as you both embark on this new and exciting adventure!

What Our Clients Are Saying

" We didn't know much about Doulas or about the support they give during pregnancy and birth I had booked an appointment with our Doula and she gave us so much information just in our interview. We hired her right away and honestly since that day haven't looked back"

"When my husband and I discovered that we were expecting we were beyond elated! However the feelings of fear and intense anxiety quickly made there presence known. It had been over ten years since the birth of my second daughter and sadly her birth was a very negative and scary experience.
My husband and I decided to go with a doula to help with labour, although neither my husband or I really knew what a doulas role in pregnancy, labour, or postnatally was. Our Doula was an amazing and imperative part of helping me not only have a very positive and anxiety free labour and delivery, but she helped me feel supported throughout my pregnancy".
