Prepared Childbirth

The program covers: anatomy and physiology of labor and delivery; variations and complications in labor and delivery; Cesarean birth; pain management options; what to expect during your stay at Tisch Hospital; feeding your baby; and a tour of labor and delivery and the Mother-Baby Unit. Films on actual labor and delivery experiences are included. The Infant Care session teaches you how to care for your baby. You will diaper and bathe a "baby" while learning to survive the first few weeks at home. To ensure class availability, please register by your 20th week. Class size is limited.
