Prepared Childbirth Class - One Day Course

This one day class is designed for motivated expectant parents who are not able to attend weeknight classes. It is a condensed version of the weeknight and weekend Prepared Childbirth courses, focusing on late pregnancy, labor, delivery and the postpartum period and including information on relaxation and patterned breathing for labor as well as hospital procedures, anesthesia and cesarean birth.

Your instructor will inform you how to arrange for a tour of the labor and delivery and postpartum area of the hospital in which you will deliver.

Each couple will receive a packet of handouts on the presented material for future reference.

The course meets on Saturday for seven hours with breaks.

It is recommended that you register for a class that is scheduled approximately 4 weeks before your due date.
