Content focuses on techniques to prepare you for the labor and delivery experience, including breathing, relaxation and coping strategies. Bring two pillows with you to class. This class is designed for couples who have had previous childbirth preparation, and now wish to review the labor process and relaxation techniques for this pregnancy. Participants should bring two pillows to class and dress comfortably. The Little Links program allows a unique opportunity for members of youth, school, and church organizations to positively influence the care and well-being of hospitalized newborn infants, while learning about their special needs.
Little Links connects neonatal nurses and the community in service and education.
Younger students who are unable to participate in sewing projects have made seasonal and holiday decorations. Through reciprocal arrangements with the group leaders, neonatal nurses are given the opportunity to educate these groups on the risk factors for preterm delivery and the ensuing problems of prematurity. The presenters emphasize the importance of healthy lifestyle choices before and during pregnancy and describe the care and characteristics of premature infants. Tours of the ICN are also available. This is a support group for bereaved families who have experienced a newborn death, or through stillbirth, miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
