Preparing for the Birth of Your Child
The best thing a woman can do to prepare for a healthy child is to pay close attention to her own health. Even before you are expecting, making healthy choices – such as quitting smoking, getting plenty of rest, and eating well – strengthens your body for the amazing task of growing a new life.
We’re here to help you every step of the way. Our virtual Healthy Pregnancy class offers trusted guidance and covers a wide range of topics, including prenatal testing, emotional and physical changes, healthy lifestyle choices, baby’s development, and potential complications.
When it’s time to get ready for the birth of your baby, consider joining one of our comprehensive childbirth education classes. Led by a skilled and experienced childbirth educator, these classes cover essential topics including:
- Labor and birth
- Breastfeeding
- Baby's first year
You and your support person will gain valuable knowledge to help you feel confident and prepared for the exciting journey ahead. For your convenience, we offer both in-person and virtual class options.
You’re not alone on this journey. We’re here to walk beside you with care, compassion, and trusted guidance.
