Preparing for Childbirth – Deaconess Hospital – Spokane

Preparing for Childbirth will help you prepare for the birth experience you and your coach are striving for. We recommend this class be taken sometime in your 3rd trimester (or close to it!) as the class is primarily geared towards the labor and delivery process with a focus on the stages of labor, when to go to the hospital, what to expect when you arrive, comfort techniques, medical interventions, pain management options, C-sections, breastfeeding and postpartum recovery. This class is a suggested prerequisite to 'Coping Skills for Unmedicated Labor,' as that class focuses mainly on unmedicated childbirth preparation.

Our childbirth classes have been created for our Inland Northwest MultiCare families as we partner with you during your birthing experience.

Both the expectant person and their partner or support person are welcome to attend, but only one person needs to register.
