Childbirth Preparation Series
Prepare for your baby’s arrival with calm and confidence in this 6-week course. Learn about the many choices you can consider as you near the end of your pregnancy: nutrition, comfort during late pregnancy, physical and emotional experiences of labor for mothers and partners, comfort techniques (breathing, relaxation, massage, etc.) for labor and birth, medications and medical procedures, postpartum care for mother and baby, and so much more!
Each series includes a full class dedicated to newborn care and one to breastfeeding. A birthing center tour, as well as educational videos and handouts, will be provided.
The cost is $85 for you and a support person. Please email amy.thompson@mywvmc.com to register.
All classes are 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm
