Prenatal Classes

Interested in prenatal classes?

Prenatal classes are a great way to familiarize yourself with expectations for labour and learning basic baby cares.

Prenatal classes are generally provided in two formats: a series of classes or intensive weekends. Attending prenatal classes are also a great way for partners to learn how to help during labour and after your baby is born.

Some of the topics generally covered during prenatal classes include:

• Signs of labour
• Normal progression of labour and birth
• Pain management (natural and medications)
• Labour/Birth interventions
• How partner/support system can help
• Postpartum planning
• Newborn Care
• Infant Feeding
• Infant Massage

Whether it is your first baby or you want a refresher class, prenatal classes are great opportunities to ask questions and gain insights into labour, birth and caring for baby.
