A Need…
For many, finding out that they are pregnant is an exciting time! But once the initial excitement is over, what’s next?
Prenatal classes are a great way to prepare yourself and/or your partner for not only the labour and delivery process, but also the expected care management in the doctor's office, triage department, labour room and operating room. The classes should also prepare you for the immediate postpartum phase, including feeding options, diapering, and taking baby home from the hospital.
As Labour and Delivery Registered Nurses, we ask women daily if they have taken prenatal classes. We get a few responses, but often we hear: “No, I couldn’t get into a class” or “No, we didn’t want to waste a weekend”. From this came the idea for change!
