Are you expecting and hoping for a birth experience that aligns with your values and preferences? Humboldt General Hospital’s Childbirth Education course is here to help you feel confident, informed, and empowered every step of the way. Tailored for women in their fifth to eighth month of pregnancy, this class provides the knowledge and tools you need to prepare for the birth you want.

Each class covers different healthy practices and provides information to keep you informed about your care.

Childbirth Education covers prenatal through postpartum, including phases of labor, comfort measures, interventions, medications, breathing techniques, and coaching help.

Lactation class includes lactation, physiology of the breast, positioning, identifying feeding cues, good nutrition, and storage of breast milk.

Newborn Care will walk you through feeding, sleeping, diapers, circumcision, umbilical cord care, bathing, and dressing. Parents-to-be will also learn about temperament, crying, and comforting techniques, behavior states, and newborn communication.
