Classes for the expectant mother and their partner
Learn about babies with Mercy
Mercy Medical Center Redding offers a variety of classes for the expectant mother and her partner. We offer an Early-bird Prenatal Class that is recommended for first time mothers during their first or second trimester of pregnancy. This class is also great for young mothers to be.
The Prepared Childbirth Classes covers a spectrum of information for the expectant mom, from learning breathing techniques and havi
ng a tour of the Maternity Center at Mercy Medical Center, to a C-Section class, all in an effort to make the expectant mom and her partner as ready for the delivery of their new baby as possible. One of the special aspects of our Prepared Childbirth classes is that most of the instructors are the actual Labor and Delivery nurses at Mercy Medical Center who work with the parents as they deliver their baby. As you can see from the schedule of classes, these classes are offered Tuesday thru Thursday night. We also offer a one time 2 hour Childbirth Refresher class for parents who are getting ready for to have a baby, but have already experienced childbirth at least once before.
We also offer a Breastfeeding class, Infant Safety class, Newborn Care and a Maternity Tour.
The Breastfeed Basics and Infant Safety classes are offered to both new parents and expecting parents.
