Your Guide to Labor and Birth
Pregnancy is an exciting time and the birth of a child should be a joyful experience. However, we understand that often times that excitement and joy goes hand-and-hand with anxiety and fear, especially for first-timers.
We'd love for you to join us for our FREE Labor and Birth class, taught by our Child Birth Educator. With the proper guidance, education, and support, those anxieties can be relieved and you can become more confident in your abilities during labor, postpartum, and the newborn stages. We encourage you to bring your support person along to these classes.
Your Guide to Breastfeeding
There are many benefits to breastfeeding your baby, including providing your baby nutrients, boosting your baby's immune system, and helping you bond with your baby.
We'd love for you to join us for our FREE breastfeeding class, taught by a Certified Lactation Counselor, that will take you through the basics and get you off to a great start. We understand the importance of a support person and that breastfeeding is proven to be more successful as a team, so we encourage you to bring your support person to the class with you. It is recommended that this class be taken shortly before the 3rd trimester, but you may attend at any time that is convenient for you.
One-on-One Lactation Consults
One-on-one consults with a certified lactation specialist are available by appointment at the Center for Women’s Health during regular business hours.
