Monday, January 8, 2024 Start the New Year with FREE Childbirth Classes at San Juan Regional Medical Center

Gearing up to welcome a new bundle of joy in 2024? San Juan Regional Medical Center offers a myriad of Childbirth Education classes to help prepare you for parenthood. We invite you to sign up for a class or share this information with an expecting parent. Here’s a rundown of some of our upcoming classes, including a new course:

**NEW** Advanced Maternal Age & Pregnancy

An advanced maternal age pregnancy is one in which the mother is 35 years or older, regardless of whether it is a first pregnancy or not. These pregnancies can have complications that may impact outcomes for both mom and baby and include the increased possibility of multiples, birth defects or conditions like preeclampsia for the mother. Register for the January 26 course. 

Labor and Pain Management

This is a single class that covers one of the most feared aspects of having a baby – the pain associated with labor and delivery. This class can be taken as a stand alone or in conjunction with any of our other childbirth education classes. Register for the January 30 class.

Newborn Care - Accelerated/Refresher 

This course is a one-time three-hour session to go over the essentials of caring for your newborn baby. Register for the January 10 or January 25 class.

Breastfeeding Basics 

This course is a one-time two-and-a-half-hour course that covers all the basics of breastfeeding. It is intended for the first-time mom or as a refresher for a mom who has already experienced breastfeeding. Register for the January 11 or January 26 class.

These are just a few of the many classes we’re offering this month.
