Are you pregnant and anxious
about your pregnancy?
This is to be expected – approximately 1 in 3 women experience anxiety during pregnancy. Being educated about pregnancy and having proper support is one way to help with the anxiety you may experience. Join us for our free prenatal education classes which provide helpful information about pregnancy, what to expect, how to have a healthy pregnancy, how to prepare for labor & delivery, along with many other topics to support you in this season of pregnancy.

Our prenatal education classes offer a wide variety of topics to support you during pregnancy and to prepare you for labor & delivery as well as becoming a parent to an infant. Classes are free and offered at various locations with a wide variety of days and times available to fit your schedule. We offer group and individual classes. Limited online class options are available for those who aren’t able to attend class in person. Attending classes also provides the opportunity to earn baby care items for many of your baby’s material needs.
Topics that will be covered include the following:
