I see too many families feeling lost because of too much medicalisation and not enough honest info. My classes are for anyone wanting to move from fear of childbirth to feeling genuinely prepared. I want you to be part of every decision, not just a bystander. ### What You Get in My Classes I blend modern Lamaze birth preparation with old-school wisdom from Yoga and Ayurveda. It’s not about a ‘perfect’ birth, but feeling respected and in control. Here’s what we go through: - Understanding your body’s labor process - all the stages, hormones, and what helps things flow. - Non-medical pain relief for labor: breathing, movement, ‘hip squeeze,’ birthing ball, and even that lifesaving hot shower. - Partner support in childbirth - I train your partner to be your real cheerleader, not just a sidekick. - How to talk to doctors: making sense of interventions, learning to ask questions (using B.R.A.I.N.), and knowing your rights. - Special VBAC prep for those wanting to try for a vaginal birth after cesarean. ### How I Teach Classes are online, so you can join from anywhere. I teach in English and Kannada (`kannadadalli` - Kannada). Sessions are flexible, you don’t have to fit into a box. My biggest hope? By the end, you’ll trust your own instincts and feel ready for whatever your birth brings. ## Highlights Browse through Pujitha Shetty's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/calmbirth.india/childbirth-education-labor-preparation/featured) - [Video: See the incredible way your body adapts to make space for your baby.

You know, so many folks come to us scared about birth, thinking it’s all doctors and drama. That’s not how we see it. Birth is wild, powerful, and honestly, your body knows what to do.

No more fear, just trust. ### My work - **All-round support from bump to baby**: We do Lamaze birth prep, prenatal yoga for pregnant women, mindful eating, labor comfort measures workshop, and newborn care. - **Real info, not just exercises**: Classes bust myths, explain labor, your rights, and medical stuff, so you make decisions feeling sure, not scared. - **Partners matter**: We guide your support team to step up—knowing how to help, advocate, and stay chill when it counts. - **Trust your body, trust the process**: Birth’s not a crisis. We help you let go, trust yourself and your baby, and meet each contraction as progress. ## More services from Pujitha Shetty - [Prenatal and Postnatal Fitness Classes](https://mytribe.in/calmbirth.india/prenatal-and-postnatal-fitness-classes) · ₹350-1,200 per session (estimate) - [Postpartum & Newborn Care](https://mytribe.in/calmbirth.india/postpartum-newborn-care) · ₹1,000-3,000 per session (estimate) - [Prenatal Nutrition](https://mytribe.in/calmbirth.india/prenatal-nutrition) · ₹800-2,500 per session (estimate) ## Experts similar to Pujitha Shetty on mytribe - [Childbirth Education Program by Bharti Goel](https://mytribe.in/herhealthcareathome/childbirth-education-program) · ₹3,900-4,900 per course (estimate) - [Childbirth Education & Labor Preparation by Aura Birthing](https://mytribe.in/aura.birthingpartner/childbirth-education-labor-preparation) · ₹3,000-6,000 per couple (estimate) · Aura Birthing Partner - [Prenatal Yoga & Birth Preparation by Aparna Ajayan](https://mytribe.in/aparnaajayan/prenatal-yoga-birth-preparation) · ₹2,800-3,800 per month (estimate) - [Prenatal Yoga & Wellness Program by Hamsikha](https://mytribe.in/yogahamsia/prenatal-yoga-wellness-program) · ₹2.8-14K per month (estimate) - [Pregnancy & Birth Support by Bangalore Birth Network](https://mytribe.in/bangalorebirthnetwork/pregnancy-birth-support) · ₹200-750 per session (estimate) · Bangalore Birth Network - [Prenatal Yoga by Amrita Nair](https://mytribe.in/yogawithamynair/prenatal-yoga) · Bengaluru - [Holistic Pregnancy Coaching by My Shishu](https://mytribe.in/myshishu/holistic-pregnancy-coaching) · ₹12.5-45K per couple (estimate) · Pregnancy & Parenting Coaching - MyShishu - [Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga by San Yoga](https://mytribe.in/sanyogastudio/prenatal-postnatal-yoga) · ₹2,800-4,800 per month (estimate) · San Yoga Studio ## Book To book Pujitha Shetty, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Childbirth%20Education%20%26%20Labor%20Preparation%20by%20Pujitha%20Shetty.)
