About this Event
Monash Health offers a comprehensive one-day childbirth education session for first time parents birthing at Dandenong hospital.
You may only book a program at the hospital you are birthing at.
The program is conducted face to face at the hospital, over one Saturday. This session will be facilitated by a midwife educator, offering the opportunity for asking questions and discussions.
We encourage you and your partner or support person to attend.
The program aims to cover topics such as:
- What is labour
- When to call the hospital
- Things the birthing woman and their support person can assist them with in labour - at home and in the hospital
- Informed Consent and refusal
- Medical options for pain relief in hospital
- Medical intervention and care
- Newborns and communication
- Breastfeeding
- Early parenting
- Safety at home
We recommend you book as soon as possible and select and pay for a program that is on when you are around 28-32 weeks pregnant. Please complete the booking using the birthing woman's name. You and your partner are encouraged to attend. Cost $ 150.00/ticket. One ticket is for two people.
The session runs from 08.30am - 4.00pm and will be held at Dandenong Hospital, David Street, Dandenong.
If you are part of a Continuity of Care Experience, please contact us before inviting your midwife to any program.
