About this event
This class is designed to help expectant parents prepare for childbirth by teaching preparation for labor and delivery, postpartum care, and infant care. This course introduces the physical changes you can expect during pregnancy, labor, delivery, and after the birth of your child. You will learn about hospital procedures, anesthesia, and medications, as well as information about rooming-in with your baby. Comfort measures and basic coping strategies for laboring, pushing, and birth are also introduced.Only the expectant mother needs to register. You may bring one support person to the class, but do not need to register that person.
The support group is held on the third floor of East Alabama Medical Center in the Maternal Child Education room. Enter through the Main Lobby of East Alabama Medical Center, go through the screening process, and then go to the third floor, where a receptionist will direct you to the classroom. Masks are required, and please bring your driver's license for the screening process.
