Childbirth Classes

 

Let Us Help You Prepare for Your New Baby

We offer a variety of classes so you can be ready for the birth of your baby and parenthood. You can schedule one of our hybrid or online classes for your convenience. We recommend completing classes by your 36th week of pregnancy so you’ll be ready whenever you go into labor.

During this in-person class, parents will learn about the birthing experience, infant care, and feeding their baby.  Class concludes with a hospital tour and Q & A with one of our experienced Labor and Delivery Nurses.  Bring your questions -- the more interactive, the more fun it is to learn.

 

Classes are offered every third Saturday from 8am to 12 noon. Fee is $50.

Class size is limited and registration is required.

For your convenience, we offer a hybrid childbirth class. You’ll be able to watch educational videos from the comfort of your own home, prior to an in-person class and tour.

Our class will help you prepare for the various aspects of childbirth, including:

  • Stages of labor
  • Pain management
  • Post-delivery care
  • Newborn care

During the class at the hospital, you’ll meet with an experienced labor and delivery nurse, who will host a question-and-answer session and give you a tour of the birthing suites.

We offer the in-person portion of the class on weeknights from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. The cost is $35. Class size is limited, and you will need to register in advance.

Our online childbirth class is great if you’d prefer to work at home when your schedule allows. It’s also a great option if you’re a second-time parent looking to brush up on your birthing and newborn knowledge. The cost is $25. We will email you your access code and instructions within 72 hours after you register. You’ll have access to the materials for 90 days after starting the course.

Our online childbirth class covers the same curriculum as our hybrid option, but everything is done online. This class doesn’t include an in-person tour or meeting with a labor and delivery nurse. After completing the course, we encourage you to contact our maternity nurse navigators by phone or email. They can answer your questions and arrange a private tour of our birth care suites and nursery.
