CHI Saint Joseph Maternity Education Programs

No one is more excited about Mother’s Day than a new mom, or expectant mom. Our neighborhood has a longtime source for accurate knowledge when it comes to stress relief surrounding childbirth and parenting a newborn at CHI St. Joseph East.

Some reasons behind participating in maternity education programs like those offered at St. Joe are to relieve stress about the process, understand what to expect during labor, delivery, postpartum, and newborn care. Attendees can also learn how to care for a newborn and learn how the body prepares for breastfeeding and how it works.

CHI Saint Joseph recommends that pregnancies be at approximately 20 weeks when scheduling the classes. Offerings include a 4-week series, 2-week series, weekend 4-hour child- birth education class: “Just the Facts, Mom!”, weekend childbirth education class, baby steps class, breastfeeding, infant CPR, sibling class, neonatal intensive care unit parent support, and women’s hospital tour sign up.
