Childbirth classes are a free four-night series for expectant mothers and their coaches. Prepared childbirth classes cover the basics of a healthy pregnancy, labor and birth. Led by registered nurse, Lori Redpath, class topics include nutrition and fitness, sexuality, pregnancy-related anatomy, how to recognize labor, labor breathing techniques, pain relief options, cesarean births and baby care basics. Class participants receive a class manual, a new parent packet and a tour of TMC's Smith and Women and Children's Center. Classes are held in the Private Dining Room on the first floor of TMC from 7-9 p.m. Refresher classes for experienced parents are also available.
In addition to the prepared childbirth classes, a Big Brother/Big Sister class will be offered on March 24th. Siblings will learn what to expect when Mom goes to the hospital and comes home with a new baby. The Big Brother/Big Sister class also includes a tour of the Smith Women and Children's Center and refreshments. This class is held in the Smith Women and Children's Center's classroom on TMC's third floor.
