Prepared Childbirth Class

Expectant parents enrolled in this class are provided with information to help them be physically and emotionally prepared for the childbirth experience.

Parents-to-be will learn about hospital registration and the process for obtaining a birth certificate. The stages of labor and birth are presented and participants will receive basic information to make their hospital visit easier. Additionally, relaxation and breathing techniques and effective coaching techniques, as well as medications, epidurals, inductions and delivery & cesarean sections. Infant CPR, infant care and car seat safety will also be presented.

Classes are in-person and limited in size. Masks are required and social distancing will be maintained. The class facilitator may decide to conduct the class virtually. If so, registrants will receive an email with virtual class link and information.

We recommend parents take the class in the sixth or seventh month of pregnancy and we encourage partners to participate.
