We are excited that you are considering participating in our Prenatal
Program. We have a variety of different classes available to you that we hope
will meet your needs during the time you are waiting and planning for your new
baby.
Four Class Series - This
series is recommended for all first-time mothers and fathers. The topics
covered are labor and delivery, medications, breathing, relaxation, baby care
and parenting. We make every effort to include a tour of the Obstetrics
Department. Please plan on bringing the person who will be serving as your
coach, as well as two pillows for breathing and relaxation exercises. Remember
to wear comfortable clothing.
One Class 'Mini' Series -
This one-day, four-hour course is an ideal refresher course or an optimal
choice for those who can't get away during the week. The topics covered are a
brief overview of labor and delivery, breathing and relaxation, as well as a
short discussion of medications. We make an effort to include a walk-through
tour of the Obstetrics Department, which is dependent on the events occurring
in the department at the time. Please plan on bringing the person who will be
serving as your coach, as well as two pillows for breathing and relaxation
exercises. Remember to wear comfortable clothing.
Description of Classes -
Breastfeeding Class
Breastfeeding class is offered for mothers-to-be who have decided to
nurse their infants and those who have not yet decided what method of infant
feeding they will choose. This class takes all the guesswork out of
breastfeeding by offering step-by-step instructions.
Description of Classes - Infant
CPR
This course uses standards set forth by the American Heart Association
in teaching basic CPR for infants up to one year of age. As a parent, you will
probably be the first person to respond if your new baby begins to choke or
stops breathing. This class will teach you the skills you need to be prepared
for such an emergency.
Description of Classes - Sibling
Brothers and sisters are an important part of your growing family. This
class is designed to be attended by expectant sibling(s) ages 2-9 and their
parent(s). The class reinforces how they are special and answers questions they
might have about the hospital and their role as a BIG brother or BIG sister.
