By popular demand our childbirth preparation class has been condensed into 8 hours!!

Giving birth deserves thoughtful and careful preparation. Childbirth instructors here at Methodist Mansfield Medical Center will guide new parents through this joyful experience. Our ultimate goal is for the woman (as well as her partner) to gain confidence in her body’s ability to give birth and knowledge to make informed choices regarding their birth experience.
Topics covered include:

• Anatomy and physiology of the birth process
• Relaxation techniques
• Role of labor support person
• Pain control theories and options
• Medications used in labor
• Epidural
• Birth options/interventions
• Labor rehearsal and delivery
• Cesarean section delivery and recovery
• Physical and emotional postpartum care
• Detailed hospital tour

Note: This express class includes shortened versions of the same topics as our 4-week childbirth series, for a convenient one-day class.

Classes are held in spacious conference room A&B with large plasma screens for educational films and power point presentation. Please bring your own exercise/yoga mat for floor exercises as well as pillow(s) and a blanket. Dress comfortably. You are welcome to bring drinks or snacks with you to class.

*Registration and fees for this class cover 2 people (1 couple or mother and birth partner)

*Upon completion of the Childbirth Express course, you are eligible for a voucher to attend either a free breastfeeding class or an infant safety CPR class. This offer is only valid at the Methodist Mansfield Medical Center campus.
