Preparing for Delivery

In the first half of the class, we will cover basic information so you can recognize when labor starts, know when to come to the hospital, know what to expect when you arrive at the hospital, and be aware of indications for a cesarean birth.

In the second part, we will discuss options available for dealing with the pain of labor and birth such as comfort measures, analgesics and anesthetics, and the importance of your support persons.

We feature videos of vaginal and cesarean births, and epidural administration.

The fee is per couple.
