Preparing for Childbirth is a comprehensive class that helps expectant parents prepare for childbirth, maintain comfort during labor, and make informed decisions around the birth of their child.

First-time parents will learn all of the basic information about labor, vaginal and cesarean births, and postpartum recovery.
