Childbirth classes helps you prepare for the birth of your child.  You will learn techniques to help you while in labor and make decisions for your birth plan.  Our class will also cover postpartum and newborn care.

We offer FREE classes each month, rotating Wednesdays and Saturdays.  Wednesday classes are conducted over two back-to-back weeks; Saturdays is one, all-day class.  Both options include, when possible, a tour of the Garrett Regional Medical Center’s Obstetrical Unit.
