At Guthrie, we believe the childbirth experience begins the moment you become pregnant. From the very beginning, you'll have questions and concerns that may include what to expect during labor and delivery, how to breastfeed or how to deal with sibling relationships. In order to enhance the whole childbirth experience, we have developed a series of comprehensive classes that involve the entire family, including the father or other support people. Our childbirth preparation classes are designed to cover every phase of maternity whether you're a first time parent or simply looking for a refresher. Other informative classes include Childbirth Preparation Refresher, Preparation for Cesarean Birth, Prenatal Breastfeeding, and Sibling Preparation.
All classes are free of charge.
Guthrie offers lactation services for mothers who deliver their babies in Robert Packer Hospital's First Impressions Birthing Center, as well as mothers who deliver elsewhere and need the services of a lactation consultant. E-mail your comments or questions . We'd love to hear from you.
