Prepared Childbirth Classes
These classes are offered for moms-to-be and coaches. They include information on Breathing and Relaxation, Labor and Delivery, Variations in Labor and Delivery, and Meeting Your Baby's Nutritional Needs.

These classes are designed to help prepare expectant parents for the birth process of their child, enabling the parents to be participants rather than spectators during their child's birth.

The best time to take these classes is in the 6th to 8th month of your pregnancy. There are a total of 5 classes in each session.

Classes are free. Please call to reserve you place in the class (class size is limited to twelve couples). To register, call 523-6461.
