Expecting a baby is exciting but it can also be daunting. So many decisions! So many questions! So much weird stuff on the internet! Knowing in advance what could unfold and what your options are makes a big difference. Our group classes provide a comfortable and friendly atmosphere where parents-to-be can prepare themselves for the journey ahead.

Whether you are planning your birth at the hospital or at home, with a midwife or a doctor, we’ve got you covered. Group Childbirth Preparation classes are in-person and are taught by trained Childbirth Educators. Topics are taught in a variety of ways, including discussion, hands-on practice, videos and small group activities. We provide handbooks for you to keep.
