Prenatal Classes

Prenatal Health Services:

The Public Health Nurse in your community can help you begin your parenting journey. It is normal to have lots of  questions when you are expecting your first baby and even when  you have already had a baby. The Public Health Nurse can help you find answers to your questions about changes during your pregnancy, about labour and delivery, hospital routines, coping strategies during labour, adjusting to life with a baby, caring for your newborn, and breastfeeding. Your Public Health Nurse can also put you in touch with other community resources. Attending Prenatal Classes in your community will give you an opportunity to meet other parents. If there is not a Prenatal Class in your community the Public Health Nurse can answer your prenatal questions in the Public Health office, on the phone, or in your home. A written resource, Baby’s Best Chance is available without cost to every first time Mom in SCHR from your Public Health Nurse. Please contact your local Public Health office to find out information about Prenatal services in your area.
