We also discuss ways to involve other family members. A wide range of topics, covering nutrition, lifestyle choices, exercise guidelines, babies intrauterine growth and development, and prenatal care, are included in this class. We believe knowledge about the normal birth process, as well as issues that can arise during pregnancy and birth, can help decrease anxiety and fear. Other coping strategies taught include relaxation, breathing techniques, and comfort measures. In the last class, we visit our maternity area and discuss postpartum.
Evening classes meet once a week for six weeks.
Classes are offered at various times, days of the week, and locations both in Albuquerque, and surrounding communities. Please ask for the most convenient time, date, and location for you when scheduling your class. Class content is similar to our Preparation for Birthing classes. Walking tour of the maternity area by nurses. The tour is free.
