Maternity Education and Support Programs

In addition to providing expert care, Covenant Hospital is pleased to provide many educational and support programs to women who are pregnant or have recently had a baby. Our educational and support programs are designed to help prepare you and your family for your labor and birth, breastfeeding, taking care of your new baby, hospital stay and the many challenges and new experiences once you are home.

All programs are taught by certified registered nurses. We recommend registration early in your pregnancy, as classes fill quickly. You should plan to attend your classes during your 6th, 7th and 8th month of pregnancy. If you are expecting multiples, plan to attend during your 4th or 5th month of pregnancy.

• Prepared Childbirth Class – 5 week series (Includes a tour of Women’s Center)
• Prepared Childbirth Class – Fast Track (1 day) (Includes a Tour of Women’s Center)
