Childbirth Class

Our childbirth classes are designed to help parents prepare for baby’s arrival. Tours of the maternity departments at Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children and Madison Hospital are available in-person or online.

Benefits of childbirth class

  • Allows expectant parents to ask questions about labor and birth with the instructor and other couples.
  • Creates a special bond between partners. Significant others gain a better understanding of what mom is going through and learn how best to provide support.
  • Includes an in-person tour of the hospital and information about routine birthing practices.
  • Learn about the birthing process, pain management and procedures for labor, as well as newborn characteristics and postpartum care.

We recommend this class be completed at least one month before the due date.
