MPMC Offers Childbirth Classes
Childbirth classes taught by Lamaze trained and certified instructors offer a wealth of information and help expectant moms be more confident about the birth process. These valuable classes are offered regularly by Maria Parham Medical Center. The next class will begin on Monday, September 12th from 6:30-9:00 pm at the hospital and will run each Monday night for 6 weeks. Some of the topics discussed are comfort measures; the role of support persons; movement, positions, and environment during labor; and information on breastfeeding. Expectant moms who are between their 5th and 8th month of pregnancy are eligible to take the class. You do not have to be a Vance County resident. Class size is limited, the fee is $50, and anyone who is interested in taking the course must call (252) 436-1881 to register. If you have questions about the class itself, please call class instructor Jackie Ross, RN, Lactation Consultant and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator at (252) 436-1414.
