Whether you are expecting your first or fifth baby, childbirth education and preparation can go a long way to ensuring a smooth labor, birth and postpartum experience. Join us for our 4-week instructional series to educate and empower women and families.

This class is FREE for all Broadlawns prenatal clients and meets once a week for two and a half hours. Women are encouraged to bring a support person. Topics include: pregnancy, birth, postpartum, breastfeeding, and newborn care. A tour of the Family Birthing Center will also be provided. Please note that our Breastfeeding Class is NOT part of this 4-week series, but we do highly encourage participants to sign up for this separately.
