Prenatal Classes

Awaiting your baby's birth is exciting; there's much to learn and prepare for before the big day. It's never too early to schedule prenatal classes. Completing all your classes at least four weeks before your due date ensures you're ready in case of early or unexpected labor.

Sign up for the pregnancy, childbirth and newborn education classes that are the most convenient for you.

Personalized Care & Comfort During Labor

You'll appreciate the comfortable, modern labor, delivery and newborn care environment during your stay. Features include:

  • Large, private birthing suites that allow you and your baby to stay in the same room from delivery to discharge
  • Suite amenities, such as bay windows, private bathrooms, soaking tubs and sleeper sofas for a partner
  • Convertible beds that change positions to support comfortable breastfeeding
  • Complimentary dinner for new parents
  • Free Wi-Fi service
  • Cable television

Pain Management Choices

You have several options to manage pain during childbirth. You can choose between drugs and natural methods. Nitrous oxide (laughing gas) can help you relax and feel less pain. Other choices include epidurals, pain medications or techniques like breathing exercises. Let us know your preferences, and we'll help you find the best way to cope with labor pain.
