More Successful Birthing Classes

My partner and I took the birthing class and enjoyed every minute of it. Nurse Jackies experience and charisma created a fun and friendly but very informative environment that allowed us to feel comfortable to ask any questions we had. We are definitely feeling more confident and prepared for childbirth. Thanks Nurse Jackie and the NY Birthing Center.  

Hello - My name is Ann, I'm from the Ukraine, I came to NY with no insurance (I'm a "self paid" person) In the Last 3 months by recommendations, I had experience to deal with Dr Lisa Eng (The Birthing Center of NY, 6702 3rd Ave) and took a "Childbirth & Breastfeeding" with nurse "God"-Jackie Chapman. Dr Eng was checking me (weight, blood pressure, baby condition) every week. When time of birthing was coming (started contractions)->I went to the birthing center, where nurse Jackie told me what to do how to reach faster time of labor and helped me to release the pain through physical moves, walking, breathing and hugs. It's really helped me a lot, without it, I didn't even know how to handle that strong pain and though only anesthesia (but I heard this is has a bad effect to the child) or hands of good specialists.. I choose 2nd option and did not regret it! The moment of labor was pretty much hard, but at the finish line you will forget fast that pain after you get the baby in  your arms. Dr Lisa helped me a lot during labor by telling me what to do every second and told me about my babies progress (that cheered me up and gave me strength). Now i have my beautiful baby and I am very grateful to the specialists of the birthing  center for their invaluable help!!!😌🙏🏼

Nurse Jackie gave us a private birthing class and made me, my husband, and our 4 year old son feel comfortable right from the start. Her teaching style is hands-on and informative, and we learned a lot in a relatively short period. She answered all of our questions patiently and made us feel more than capable of going through this process again. Highly recommend!

We are so happy to have taken Nurse Jackie’s birthing class and feel more at ease on what to expect when our newborn arrives. When we first arrived we were nervous, but Nurse Jackie was very welcoming and warm. We were especially grateful that she could accommodate us, as we had signed up the day before. Nurse Jackie’s class was very informative. We learned about how to breath through labor, options for our birth plan, helpful tips for breastfeeding, and how to hold, clean and swaddle our newborn. At the end of the session, we received certificates of completion of the course, useful samples of ointment and gentle detergent, ink pads for baby footprints, and a document to keep track of our newborn’s health to communicate with our pediatrician. On our way out, Nurse Jackie gave us both huge hugs and reminded us that we could contact her at any point with questions, even at 2:00 AM when we’re in labor. We were very grateful for Nurse Jackie’s professionalism, expertise, guidance, and warm kindness! We would highly recommend Nurse Jackie’s birthing class to all expecting moms!
