We now offer Prenatal Classes monthly with a labor and delivery RN from Baptist Hospital! Attached you will find the class outline. Classes will meet one Saturday each month from 10:00am until approximately 3:00 pm. Bring a pillow for your comfort. Sometimes it is cold in our office so bring a sweater! A light lunch will be provided. We recommend taking prenatal classes between 24-34 weeks of your pregnancy. A hospital tour is included at the end of class for who wish to attend. Hospital tours are for those who attend the class only
