Baby Prep™ Prenatal Sessions

In-Person Group Prenatal Classes

COVID-19 Safety

All in-person courses are taking place! Hurray! But due to the many COVID variants, we are still evaluating safety weekly. If we feel we cannot keep everyone safe or cannot host an in-person course due to COVID, we will let those who have registered know and move their course to an online format. But as of right now, in-person is a go!

Please note: to participate in an in-person group prenatal course, you must be double-vaccinated and present your vaccine passport and corresponding government-issued ID at the time of the visit.

If you are not double-vaccinated, you are more than welcome to join an online group prenatal course.

Course Info

Designed to meet the needs of expectant parents in an interactive and fun group environment.
Classes max out at 13 couples so every couple has the chance to ask questions, address their concerns, and connect with other expectant parents.
The goal is to provide you and your partner the ability to make informed birth choices, build confidence and help ease the transition into parenthood.
The class is taught using a variety of instructional methods such as visual aids, diagrams, and plenty of hands-on practice!
The Baby Prep™ Weekend Course and Evening Series provides the same information, it’s just presenting in two different time frames (two days vs. 4 weeks).
You will receive a printed copy of our Baby Prep™ prenatal book for reference during and after the course.
An optional class reunion is organized after the birth of all the babies.
Once registration and payment are received; an assessment form will be emailed to you for you to fill out and bring to your first class.
