This class is taught by our certified childbirth educators who are also nurses within the Elliot Hospital Maternity Center. It is designed to help our patients prepare for their childbirth experience and support partners prepare for their crucial role. Topics covered include: 3rd trimester pregnancy changes, the birth process, coping strategies for labor (including positioning, relaxation strategies, breathing patterns and pain medication options), cesarean delivery and early postpartum care.

This class will take place at the Elliot Hospital's Rivers Edge location on 185 Queen City Avenue. You can park in the garage and cross into the medical building, we are on the ground floor down the hall on the right hand side. We highly encourage packing lunch for our 1-day classes, there is a scheduled break and vending machines are available. For our evening classes, feel free to bring drinks and snacks. This site does not have a refrigerator so please plan accordingly. We will review a virtual tour in class, please schedule an in-person one separately if you are interested.
