Event Information

Sibling Class

While the birth of new child is an exciting time, the soon-to-be big brother or sister may have questions and anxieties about his or her new sibling. We offer this class to children three years and older to address these issues and to assure children they are still loved and special even though things change with the arrival of a baby. Once the children view the nursery and maternity floor and enjoy refreshments, we help the children make a special gift for the arrival of their new sibling.

Breastfeeding Class

This class is taught by our own internationally certified lactation specialist. Whether you are planning on breastfeeding or have not yet decided, we encourage you to attend. In this class, you will learn the benefits of breastfeeding, as well as techniques for successful breastfeeding.

Childbirth Preparation Class

This class, which helps you prepare for the delivery of your baby, is taught in five weeks of evening sessions, or a full-day Saturday course. In this class, signs and stages of labor, use of medications, fetal presentation, relaxation and breathing techniques, and comfort measures is all covered. We also give a tour of the labor and delivery area. We ask that you schedule your class in an attempt to finish the classes before your due date.
