Event Details

Preparing for a new baby is one of the most exciting experiences in life. With the arrival of your little one, everything will transform. However, along with the immense joy a new baby brings, it is very natural to experience fears and concerns. Myrtue’s Birthing Center offers Childbirth Preparation Classes to help you become knowledgeable and prepare you for your journey to parenthood.

Fast-track Childbirth Preparation Classes are held on Saturdays from 9 AM to 4 PM in the Myrtue Medical Center Auble Room located on the north side of the hospital at the Administration Entrance. Lunch and snacks are provided.

Our nurse-led classes offer an overview of what to expect and how to guide yourself through the phases of labor. The expectant mother and support person will learn relaxation techniques and breathing models to manage contraction pain, different laboring positions, and view a 3-D video of a complete birth that demonstrates labor progress. The session will also cover pain management options, labor interventions, and cesarean deliveries. You will also have the opportunity to practice the relaxation and breathing techniques with the instructor. This is a great time to ask labor and delivery questions to be best prepared to welcome your little one into the world.
