UF Health Childbirth Education Classes

The Childbirth and Newborn Education Class is intended to prepare expectant parents for labor, birth, the post-partum period, and caring for the newborn.

It is conveniently offered as a one day class on a Saturday and covers a variety of topics including:
• The birthing process and stages of labor
• Pain management relaxation techniques & options
• Cesarean section preparation and postpartum recovery
• General newborn care: bathing, burping, & diapering
• Soothing techniques & signs of illness
• Safety & more!

This course also includes a virtual tour of the triage, labor and delivery, and mother baby unit.

UF Health keeps the safety and well-being of our patients, visitors, staff and volunteers a top priority, and at this time we are not holding in-person classes but will be offering virtual Childbirth and Newborn education classes via Zoom.
