Every birth is unique. Childbirth is a normal process for which a woman’s body is designed. Preparation for childbirth gives a woman confidence in her abilities and provides her with coping techniques for labor and answers to frequently asked questions.
𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗪𝗡𝗛 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗣𝗦 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗘:
Our two-week prepared childbirth classes are designed to accommodate the mother-to-be and a support person if desired.
Because we want families to be prepared and active participants, William Newton Hospital offers this class at no charge to those planning on delivering at WNH. Otherwise, the cost is $10 per class or $20 for the full two-week session.
𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟭: What to expect during your hospital stay & infant care—signs and symptoms of labor and when you should come to the hospital. During this class you will also learn relaxation techniques to help focus during stages of labor. We’ll also cover infant care including bathing, diapering, and infant behaviors.
𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 𝟮: Infant CPR & safety—safe sleep, period of purple crying, newborn safety, and more. You will also get a tour of the Family Birthing Center during this class.
𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴: Schedule a one-on-one, individualized meeting with one of our certified breastfeeding specialists and learn techniques that will benefit you & your baby. Breastfeeding classes are offered by appointment only and provide specialized instruction, customized for your individual needs.
𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 & 𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘:
Classes are held on Thursday evenings from 6pm-8pm in the Lower Level Classroom at William Newton Hospital. Each session lasts two weeks, but you may choose to attend just one class or both.
