Upcoming Childbirth Education Classes

If you or someone you know is entering the third trimester of pregnancy, now is the time to register for childbirth education classes. Taking a childbirth education class is a great way to meet other families, learn about the birth process and options for pain coping, newborn procedures, and postpartum care. Classes are lively and involve discussion, role playing, videos, and a few laughs and are offered in a group or private setting. Classes are forming now for December and January with November’s group class beginning this week. If you are interested in a private class please let me know. Group classes are offered through Nantucket Cottage Hospital and begin the first Wednesday of each month. Group classes are held Wednesday and Thursday nights from 6:30-8:30pm for three weeks. The last night is a favorite! Boot Camp for Dads is a special class where new families come in with their babies and talk frankly about the birth, postpartum, and newborn period.  Take some of the fear out of birth by attending this class.
