Welcome

Preparing for Childbirth – Our Weekend Class

If you are limited on time but want information with some hands-on practice, Meriter's Weekend Class is for you. Prepare for your personal childbirth journey with us. Share your thoughts, concerns and questions. Learn about labor and birth, pain-coping practices, how dad/partners can help, options for medications and decision-making skills for a fulfilling and confident birth experience. We recommend also enrolling in Baby's First Weeks and Basics of Breastfeeding. It is strongly recommended that you register for and complete a tour of the Birthing Center prior to taking your Weekender class!
