Event Details

Planning for a new baby is one of the most exciting experiences you’ll ever have. With the arrival of your newborn, your life will change. But even with all the joy that a new baby brings, it’s very natural to have fears, doubts, and concerns. Myrtue Medical Center offers Childbirth Preparation Classes to prepare and support you during the entire process of becoming a parent.

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. A complete demonstration of birth with the use of 3-D video will be viewed. The expectant mother and support person will learn relaxation models, breathing techniques to manage labor discomforts, and positions in labor that the labor nurse may ask you to perform. Pain control options, labor interventions, and cesarean deliveries will also be addressed. Sample labor will be used to practice relaxation and breathing techniques learned. Videos on postpartum care and newborn characteristics will also be viewed and discussed.
