Comfort Measures class is perfect for couples who have given birth before and want a refresher or couples who have already attended Understanding Birth class and want a deeper understanding with more practice of natural coping methods. This class is created around Penny Simkin's Comfort Measures DVD and book The Birth Partner. It will be interactive for both mom and support people. This class does not include information about medical intervention or the process of labor itself, that is covered in the Understand Birth class.  This class focuses on natural coping methods.

Topics include: breathing, relaxation, visualization, guided imagery, massage, counter pressure, positions for labor and pushing.

It is most effective if support people attend with mom. 1-2 per mom is welcome.

This class meets one time for 2 hours. Moms may bring primary support person and any other support person she desires.

Complimentary tours are available for current patients or those considering our facility for delivery.

Please register in advance for the tour. 

Note: Only register one person. You may bring 1 support person.

Daytime tours are available on Tuesdays at noon, with the exception of holidays.

Please meet by the elevator on the 4th floor for tours to begin. Tours typically last 30 to 45 minutes and may occasionally be canceled if the facility is full.

All insurance companies have some type of breast pump coverage, but are pumps all the same? Learn about the different categories of pumps, why a mom might need to pump, how to initiate a milk supply using a pump, and what exclusively pumping means. Hear from moms who have exclusively pumped by choice or necessity as well as tips on how to keep a milk supply when you return to work. This class is most helpful when the Breastfeeding Basics Class has already been taken or if mom has breastfed before. Save time and money and take both Breastfeeding Basics and Pumping Power on the same day. Sign up first for Breastfeeding Basics! It is also recommended to wait to purchase your own pump until after taking this class.

Please register only mom, support person is free.
