Do any CBE's offer pre-pregnancy/fertility classes?

[Black Orchid]

As I read Ina May's books, I really, really feel like I want to offer a pre-pregnancy class. I almost feel like when someone becomes pregnant it is almost too late to eliminate the "medical model"... of course anytime is better than never, BUT I'd love to get to people before they even concieve...

So does anyone do this?

No, I don't but I would LOVE to. I am also interested in hearing about others that may do this.

I do it. Well...I've done it. Twice (private class).

I'm actually in talks with the local "adult education" dept. to offer a pre-conception class. I'd focus on getting healthy and tested before pregnancy...nutrition and general fitness...things to avoid...folic acid...chosing a good care provider (ob or mw)...what's normal and what to expect...natural remedies for morning sickness/fatigue and other 1st trimester issues...all that jazz.
