It is conveniently offered as a one day class on a Saturday and covers a variety of topics including:

• Pain management relaxation techniques & options
• Cesarean section preparation and postpartum recovery
• General newborn care: bathing, burping, & diapering

This course also includes a virtual tour of the triage, labor and delivery, and mother baby unit.
