[May 19, 2017] LINCOLN -  Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital reminds expecting families that each month it offers a free prenatal class. The next 3-hour class will be held Sunday, May 21 from 1:00pm – 4:00pm. The class will be held in Steinfort A at Abraham Lincoln Memorial Hospital in Lincoln.

Kathy Vogt, Registered Nurse Certified and Lamaze Certified Childbirth Educator, will be teaching the class that is designed for expectant families. The class will teach participants how to know when it’s time to come to the hospital, what to expect during labor and delivery, breathing techniques and other pain relief options. The class will also touch on newborn feeding and care. After the classroom portion of the course, participants will be shown the Family Maternity Suites at ALMH.

“We are pleased to offer these classes to the community and we encourage expecting mothers and their support partners to attend. The birth process for a lot of women, even second time mothers, can be both overwhelming and joyful. The knowledge mothers gain from our prenatal class helps lessen their anxiety, information is empowering,” said Elizabeth Meyrick, RN, Manager of the Obstetrical Unit.
