Childbirth Education

Our virtual program covers introduction to the labor process, relaxation and breathing techniques, baby care basics, breastfeeding, and more. Program material (slides, quizzes, and videos) can be completed and reviewed at your leisure for up to nine months from the date of class registration.

One-hour consultations with our childbirth education instructors are included to address any additional questions or concerns you may have.
