San Juan Regional Health

San Juan Regional Medical Center’s Childbirth Center wants to help new parents prepare for the birth of their baby. While welcoming a new bundle of joy into the world is exciting, there are also a lot of decisions to make and questions to ask. At San Juan Regional Medical Center, we are committed to providing the support services and education expecting parents need to make sure their baby gets the best start in life through our Childbirth Preparation Series classes.

The Childbirth Preparation Series invites moms and their families to learn the basics of a healthy pregnancy and birth, what to expect once baby is born, newborn basics and beyond. Topics covered include comfort measures, breathing, relaxation, the stages and phases of labor, support person skills, medical interventions in labor, the first few weeks at home and postpartum care. Emphasis is placed on having a healthy pregnancy, understanding the physical and emotional challenges of labor and delivery and getting to know other pregnant women and families.

The classes will be held virtually via Zoom to limit in-person contact and comply with social distancing guidelines. They are offered free of charge as a benefit to expecting parents in our community, compliments of San Juan Regional Medical Center, your community owned and operated hospital.

The next series of classes begins on Thursday, February 4, 2021, and will be held each Thursday throughout the month from 6:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. A second round of classes will be held from March 4-25 and a third will be held April 1-22.
