All our patients have access to prenatal childbirth classes. Our prenatal education program is conducted by our midwives at the hospital and is designed for you and your partner to prepare for labour, birth, breastfeeding and preparing for managing at home with your baby. You will be given details about this program and class dates when you make your hospital booking.
