Your Guide to Labor, Birth, and Breastfeeding
Pregnancy is an exciting time and the birth and bringing home 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, Birth, and Breastfeeding class, taught by our experienced labor and delivery nurses. With the proper guidance, education, and support, those anxieties can be relieved and you can become more confident in your abilities before, during, and after childbirth helping get your baby off to the best start possible.
Because of the many benefits to breastfeeding your baby, including providing your baby nutrients, boosting your baby's immune system, and helping you bond with your baby, this class will also spend time on the basics of breastfeeding.
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.
