Congratulations on your pregnancy! It can be an exciting and nerve-wracking
time, especially if it's your first time. But don't worry, we're here
to help you prepare for the big day. Our birthing class is designed to
give you the knowledge and skills you need to feel confident and empowered
during labor and delivery.
Our Fast-track Childbirth Preparation class is a great option for busy
parents-to-be who want to learn about the different stages and phases
of labor in a condensed format. In this class, you'll get an overview
of what to expect during each stage of labor, from early labor to pushing
and delivery. We'll also cover pain management techniques, such as breathing
and relaxation exercises, as well as medical interventions like epidurals.
Our experienced instructors will answer any questions you have about childbirth
and help you prepare for a positive birth experience. We believe that
every birthing person deserves to feel supported and informed throughout
their pregnancy and labor, and we're here to make that happen for you!

Additional Information
Preparing for a new baby is one of the most thrilling 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, doubts, and concerns. This is why Myrtue’s Birthing Center
offers Childbirth Preparation Classes to help you feel ready and supported
throughout 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 class offers 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 models, breathing techniques to manage labor discomforts,
different laboring positions, and view a 3-D video of a complete birth
demonstration. 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.
