Birthing with BAM
​(Bay Area Maternity)

Picture
Patients of Bay Area Maternity (BAM) will gain the knowledge and confidence to navigate the labor and birth of their baby with this online childbirth class. Expectant parents will learn the basics of what labor looks like throughout the journey, common and some uncommon curveballs that may come along the way, and how to get through it all in an empowering and positive way.  Caren has attended numerous births with the midwives with BAM at El Camino Hospital Los Gatos, and has experienced BAM midwifery as a patient as well. With these perspectives, she will help parents understand the BAM team approach so you can be confident going into the most life changing event of your lives, the birth of your baby.
