Monday, July 06, 2015by Courtney

HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital is offering expectant parents, "Having a Baby," a three-part educational series which provides a comprehensive journey through the process of birth and infant care. The series is designed for mothers and their support partners, and can make a positive difference in the birth experience.

The series includes the following information:

· Signs of Preterm Labor

· Stages of Labor

· Pain Relief Options for Labor

· Medical Interventions

· Role of the Support Partner

· Breathing and Relaxation Techniques

· Birthing Positions

· Cesarean Birth

· Immediate and Extended Post-Partum

· Infant Care and Safety

HSHS St. Anthony's encourages all first-time mothers to sign up for the series at 20 weeks of pregnancy and attend this series at 30 weeks with their support partners. All classes begin at 6:30 p. m. and pre-registration is required. Part 1 will be held in the Education Center with Parts 2 and 3 in the Auditorium. Each pregnancy and birth is unique so HSHS St. Anthony's also encourages those who have delivered before to take the series as a review.

In July, the series will be held on Wednesday, July 1; Monday, July 6, and Thursday, July 9.
