Multiples Class

Our Multiples e-learning class covers information specific to multiple pregnancy and birth—nutritional needs of a multiple pregnancy, risk factors and complications, and how birth of multiples differs from that of a singleton (single baby). If this is your first pregnancy/baby, we also recommend that you sign up for a Prepared Childbirth class to learn more about labor and delivery, a Babycare PLUS class to teach you how to take care of your new infants, and a Breastfeeding class to round out your prenatal education. We also offer Daddy Boot Camp for expectant dads, taught by experienced dads with input from new dads and their babies. You should also plan to take a Tour of our Maternity Unit (included in the Childbirth class or offered as a separate class). If your doctor tells you that you will have a scheduled Cesarean Birth, please sign up for our free online Cesarean class which will give you more information about C/Sections and recovery and postpartum issues. You should plan to complete all of your prenatal classes by early in your 3rd trimester since many women expecting multiples are placed on bedrest toward the end of their pregnancy and many deliver early.
