Peninsula Regional Medical Center is offering a series of “Prepared Childbirth” classes starting July 8 with a four-week program of classes, which meets on Tuesdays from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. All classes will be taught in the Avery W. Hall Educational Center on the PRMC campus. Meet other expectant parents at this interactive course that includes information about prenatal care, labor and delivery, postpartum care and infant safety. You will learn what to expect during labor and birth, different breathing techniques, relaxation skills and other helpful comfort measures to use whether you are planning a medicated or non-medicated birth. The class includes a tour of the Medical Center.
Classes should be taken during the 6th to 8th month of pregnancy. The fee is $75 for the mom to be and her coach. Pre-registration is required. Participants are asked to bring a blanket and two pillows to each class.
For more information, call 410-543-7512 or visit the Classes and Events section of the Peninsula Regional Medical Center website at www.peninsula.org for online registration.
Peninsula Regional Medical Center has also begun to offer a new online childbirth education class for people who cannot attend classes in person due to bed rest or scheduling conflicts. Visit peninsula.org/women to sign up.
