Our classes are designed to help you embrace parenthood with confidence!
“My husband and I took ABQ Doula’s “Birthing with Confidence” prenatal class and it has been one of the most worthwhile experiences we could have done before our baby boy arrived. They even answered questions we didn’t know we had! We feel much more prepared for our labor and newborn experience. We definitely recommend this class.” Jayne K, Albuquerque NM
“Our class was extremely informative and I learned a lot about my body and what amazing things it will do in the next month(s). Even though this is my third baby, I only knew a quarter of the information you taught and it gave me a lot of insight on how I should treat my self during labor.” Lily, Rio Rancho NM
” Amazing experience with ABQ Doulas. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. We took their Newborn essentials, and Labor and Delivery Class. For first time parents the information was excellent and prepared us well for our little girl to come.” Amanda, Albuquerque NM
