Childbirth Education (CBE)

A complete 6-session Lamaze program — breathing, positions, advocacy, and informed decision-making. For couples from 20 weeks onwards.

What is Childbirth Education (CBE)?

Anandhamaya's Childbirth Education program is built on the internationally recognised Lamaze framework — the gold standard in evidence-based birth education. Over 6 sessions, you and your partner will understand the stages of labor, your choices, your rights, and how to work together as a team on birth day. This is not a fear-based program — it is an empowerment program.
