Childbirth Education Classes

Expecting a baby is an exciting and joyous time for any parent-to-be. However, the thought of preparing for the birth of your child can be a bit daunting. But, don't worry, we are here to help you out. We understand that pregnancy can be overwhelming, and that's why we offer a variety of education programs that aim to provide you with the knowledge and resources you need to feel more confident, informed, and relaxed throughout your pregnancy journey. Whether it be prenatal care, nutrition and exercise, or labor and delivery, our programs are designed to give you the support you need to make this experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Pre-registration is mandatory for all classes. If you have any questions, please contact the Orange City Area Health System Education Department. Childbirth classes will be held in Conference Room AB, which is located on the lower level of the Orange City Area Health System.
