Prenatal and perinatal classes for parents

Expecting parents

Congratulations on your pregnancy! We offer both in-person and live online prenatal classes to suit your needs and all classes include bonus material, resources and videos on our Blackboard platform.

Classes are interactive and include lots of activities. Topics include, late pregnancy challenges, hands-on comfort and massage techniques for labour, medical procedures and decision-making, cesarean birth, breastfeeding/chestfeeding, the immediate postpartum and postpartum adjustments, newborn care and early parenting decisions. 

A special emphasis is placed on the partner/support person's role in birth and parenting as you prepare to provide a safe and nurturing environment that will support your baby's physical and emotional development. 

Prenatal and Newborn care classes in-person

In-person classes provide the opportunity to meet and create community with other pregnant people with similar due dates. Classes include many activities and opportunities for hands-on practice of comfort techniques and strategies for labour. At this time we are holding classes on our two campuses as well as off-site in Abbotsford, Langley, North Vancouver, and Richmond.
