What are the benefits of Prepared Childbirth
Classes?
Your pregnancy can be a time of great excitement, anticipation and
stress. There is so much to talk about and many questions to
answer. Jean certainly allows enough time for that and more.
Childbirth Classes allow you and your partner to gain knowledge and a
level of comfort for labor and delivery. During class, you are
able to meet many other couples and share concerns, experiences, and ask
a lot of questions. A simple understanding of terms, breathing and
relaxation techniques, and pain relief measures can make you and your
partner's experience more rewarding and a lot less anxiety
provoking. In addition, patients who are prepared are more in
control and able to process information from the nurses and doctors
easier. In addition, each
class is given a private tour of the Labor & Delivery unit at
Baystate Medical Center.
If you are interested in the Childbirth Classes available though our
practice, please sign up with one of our receptionists during one of
your office visits between the 14th and 16th week of your
pregnancy. There is an $80 fee for the class and we request a $40
non-refundable deposit, with the balance due at the first class (cost
subject to change without notice). Space
is limited, so do not delay! Once you sign up, you will be
sent an information packet approximately one month before class
begins.

Please bring your husband or partner to share this class

informal and humorous!! We look forward to helping your birth
experience a less stressful and more enjoyable one!
