Prepared Childbirth Education Class to be held at VMH July 8

Veterans Memorial Hospital in Waukon will begin the next Prepared Childbirth Education classes (formerly called Lamaze) Monday, July 8, and those classes will continue for two more consecutive Monday evenings, beginning at 6 p.m. for each session, in the Large Conference Room.

The Prepared Childbirth Education classes at Veterans Memorial Hospital are offered in three sessions that allow the expectant parents to choose which topics they wish to learn more about. They may choose to attend one, two or all three sessions.  Session 1 covers labor, delivery and the postpartum period following delivery; Session 2 includes relaxation, breathing and pain management; and Session 3 covers infant care. Tours of the OB Department are available with each session as well.

These Prepared Childbirth Education classes are free to any expectant parents delivering at Veterans Memorial Hospital, and for a small fee per session for those delivering at another facility. Preregistration is necessary, as seats are limited. Contact Machelle Bulman, RN at 563-568-3411, or register online at www.veteransmemorialhospital.com.  The hospital’s next Prepared Childbirth Education courses are scheduled for October, 2019.
