UMC's Bright Beginnings offers classes to meet the educational need of all expectant parents. All classes are offered FREE of charge to the community and require you simply to sign up in advance. We look forward to sharing in the birth of your baby at University Medical Center. The list below describes each class. A two week series.
Classes add to knowledge gained from previous childbirth education.
Mom and her birth partner will learn about the emotional and physical changes taking place in mom's body. Infant care and feeding is the last class of this series. Guided tours of the Labor and Delivery unit will familiarize the entire family with the birthing environment and educate participants with the clinical details of childbirth. A two-hour class to inform and encourage expectant mothers on how to breast feed their babies. Breast pumps are available for rental.
