Event Details

This two day virtual course or in person is essential for all first-time expectant parents, as it will help to prepare you and your partner for labor and delivery. Students receive an “Understanding Birth” guidebook which explores the topics of the signs of labor, when to go to the hospital, breathing techniques, relaxation and massage, common medical procedures, including explanations of epidurals and cesarean birth, the role of the labor support person, and insight into the hospital and postpartum experience for both mother and baby. Additionally, you will be given access to an Mobile App that will keep all of this information at your fingertips as you prepare for and experience the birth of your baby.

You must register online to secure your spot in class, one registration per couple. After which, we will email you an invitation to a Teams meeting or a detailed email for in person class date and time.

Please note the class may be canceled due to low enrollment. Please check your emails a day before the class.
