Childbirth Education
Congratulations, you’re expecting! Having a baby is one of the most exciting times in your life and MercyOne is here to support you every step of the way.
We offer pregnancy classes designed to build your confidence and prepare you for the upcoming birth of your baby and the care needed when you are ready to take your baby home.
Join us at Your Best Life podcast for expert advice on preparing for your new baby.
In part one of our discussion, we cover what you'll experience each trimester, what to expect on delivery day, and managing pain during delivery.
In part two, we cover care for mom and baby after delivery, postpartum health, breastfeeding and more.
