Prenatal and Childbirth Education Classes are offered at The Scarborough Health Network.  The classes provide families with important information and skills preparation that are fundamental to childbirth and the first few weeks of parenthood.

Education classes include:

• stages of labour and what to expect
• coping strategies, including breathing techniques
• when to come to the hospital, including what to bring
• role of the support person
• medical interventions, including induction, pain management
• options and cesarean birth
• hospital information and procedures
• breastfeeding information
• tips including resources for before and after

All participants are provided with a package of materials that has information on what was covered in class. There is always time for open discussion and a chance to go over any questions you or your partner may have. At the end of your class you will be reminded to use the e-mail address should you require further information or clarification of class content.
