Childbirth Center Classes

Birthing Center Classes At Mercer Health

We offer a number of childbirth classes to best prepare you for motherhood! Mercer Health’s Childbirth Center offers in-person Childbirth and Breastfeeding classes.

Childbirth Education Class

Our childbirth education classes are designed to prepare expectant parents for labor, delivery, and care of the new mom and baby following delivery. Our goal is to eliminate the fear of the unknown. We provide information on the stages of labor, pain management, relaxation, hospital interventions, after delivery care, and newborn care. In fact, a great deal of our last class is dedicated to the care of the baby.

Childbirth classes are free to any expecting mothers and are offered at various times throughout the year. Online registration is required.

Local Breastfeeding Classes

Our breastfeeding class provides a basic understanding of breastfeeding. Parents are given information on how to get breastfeeding off to the best start. Class is taught by our board-certified lactation consultant who is available after class to discuss any questions more in-depth. This class is recommended for first-time breastfeeding mothers and mothers who did not meet their breastfeeding goals in the past. Support people are encouraged to attend class with the mother-to-be.

Breastfeeding classes are free to any expecting mothers and are offered from 6:00-8:00 p.m. throughout the year. Online registration is required.
