Prepared Childbirth Class - Weekend Series

This class is designed for couples who are not able to attend weeknight classes. It focuses on late pregnancy, labor, delivery and the postpartum period and includes 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 for a total of 12 hours on either a Saturday and Sunday.

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