PREPARED CHILDBIRTH CLASS
Prepared Childbirth Class is a community education class provided by The Family Maternity Center at National Park Medical Center. The program provides comfort and peace of mind to women and their partners who are expecting a new baby. The class goes over various stages of pregnancy and infant care.
It is important that women, especially those delivering their first child, attend a childbirth class. The class will discuss relaxation techniques, support during labor, post pardum depression, delivery options, normal newborn development and baby care. In addition, a pediatrician speaks to each class with advice about caring for your new baby. A tour of the NPMC Labor and Delivery department is given during each class.
It is suggested that expecting mothers attend the childbirth class 2-3 months prior to the due date, so that the information stays fresh on the mind. But new mothers at any stage are welcome to attend. To register, call 620-2705.
