When Should I Register for Classes?

At what point in your pregnancy should you register for classes?

Plan ahead! You are encouraged to take Childbirth Preparation classes beginning anytime after your fourth to fifth month of pregnancy. Since the full series is seven weeks in length, you don’t want to back it up too close to your due date or you will run the risk of missing the last class or two if your baby comes early. As class sizes are limited, parents are encouraged not to wait until the last minute to register, though we will accommodate you if we possibly can.

The following classes can be taken prior to your baby’s birth or after the birth with the baby in tow:

  • Breastfeeding Basics — Tools for Success
  • Newborn Care 101
  • Combining Work & Breastfeeding
  • Infant CPR, First Aid, & Safety
  • Vaccinations & Informed Consent.

The Infant Massage class and all of our support groups are designed to be taken with your baby.
