Learning about pregnancy and childbirth will go a long way toward making you feel comfortable with what lies ahead, and help prepare your family for inevitable change.
We urge you to attend one class from each of the prenatal sessions.
Prenatal class sessions are offered to all regarding their number of week's gestation, however, they do correlate a bit with how a pregnancy progresses. Mothers-to-be and spouses/support persons are encouraged to attend these free sessions together.
