Free Childbirth Class

Studies have shown that prenatal classes make parents-to-be more comfortable before birth and they also reduce the incident rate of certain neonatal complications linked to maternal stress. Not only does this translate to a healthier baby, but both parents feel more comfortable when they feel fully prepared for all the possibilities childbirth can bring.

What will I learn?

    • When to leave for the hospital
    • What to expect during each stage of labor and birth
    • Medical interventions and procedures
    • Coping techniques: breathing, massage, and partner support
    • Pain relief options, including epidural usage
    • What you need to know about Cesarean birth and prevention
    • Newborn procedures in your hospital
    • What to expect at your first pediatric visit
    • Answers to your questions about vaccinations

    Each reservation guarantees you three seats for the class. We wanted to offer the same educational opportunity to both parents-to-be as well as their child’s future caretaker. It takes a village to raise a child, but what good is a village unless everyone is on the same page?
