Mothers and their partners will learn about when to come to the

taught as a basis to increase each mother's confidence in her
ability to give birth and to learn simple coping strategies for
labor, including focused breathing, massage techniques, positioning
and relaxation. The classes are taught by an experienced member of
the ALMH obstetrics team and include in-depth explanations of
birthing options, including cesarean delivery, induction of labor
and medications. Partners will also learn about how to support
mothers on the big day. Attending the class together and gathering
information often helps lessen anxiety for the much-anticipated
birth of a child. The class will also include a tour of the ALMH
Family Maternity Suites. Please register for the class by calling
