Expectant parents course at VNA of Northern Berkshire - April 18, 2008
NORTH ADAMS - North Adams Regional Hospital will offer its expectant parents class beginning Wednesday, May 7, and continuing through Wednesday, June 18, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. each Wednesday. The classes will be held at the VNA & Hospice of Northern Berkshire in North Adams, and are offered for parents with due dates through August.
The course instructor is Colette Baran, a Lamaze certified childbirth educator and certified lactation counselor at the NARH Birthing Center.
Pre-registration is required. For more information or to register, one may call the NARH Birthing Center at (413) 664-5127.
The expectant parents classes will cover topics including labor and delivery, breathing and relaxation, communication skills, movement and positioning, support person techniques, acupressure, yoga, doula support, birth plans, pain relief options, breast-feeding with a lactation consultant, postpartum adjustments and a tour of the Birthing Center at NARH. “This vibrant and fun seven-week series will help empower the expectant family with evidence-based information and techniques to travel through their birth experience with confidence,” said Baran. “The parents not only leave this class feeling more prepared for labor and birth but many make connections with other parents and find support for their parenting journey in the community.” |
