This class for expecting mothers and fathers teaches what breathing exercises and postures help labor to progress, are more comfortable and make pushing more effective. Learn what your partner can do to support you during labor. This class is great for first time parents that want a short class to get oriented or want to learn more about non-medical ways to work through labor. It's also good for those wanting a refresher course about comfort measures for labor.

Relay for Life

Mountain Brook High School

On Friday, April 20th, more than 700 members of the Mountain Brook community will gather at Mountain Brook High School Spartan Stadium to Celebrate, Remember, and Fight Back as part of the American Cancer Society's signature event, Relay For Life. Relays are held in more than 4,000 communities worldwide, and the Mountain Brook event has a goal of raising more than $125,000 for the American Cancer Society.

SEANstrong Event & Incentive Week Kick-off Party 

Avo/Dram

sean strong event

posh birmingham will be selling tickets to the SEANstrong Event & Incentive Week Kick-off Party being held at Avo & Dram April 1st, 2012. Ticket holders will enjoy amazing hors d'oeuvres, wine & beer while gearing up for the coming week! Incentives from merchants supporting this effort will be accessible to everyone who purchases a ticket through posh birmingham & posh packages full of goodies & great savings will be given out to all ticket holders who attend the Sunday kick-off party. (More specific details regarding incentives & posh package contents will be included in our next notification).

The community has been rallying around eleven year old Sean Fredella, decorating mailboxes with large blue bows in show of their support for his 4th battle with cancer, since age two. Proceeds from the sale of the bows went to help with Sean's medical expenses.

SEANstrong, (an account recently created by the Fredellas at Children's Hospital of Alabama in honor of Sean), will financially help families whose children are battling this life threatning disease and American Cancer Society's Relay for Life is a life-changing event that helps communities across the globe celebrate the lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the disease.

Join posh as we rally with the community...to be SEANstrong!!
