Guest Blog – Would you take a prenatal class online?

November 12, 2013momstownPregnancyNo comments
These were the typical sounds of a ‘80s-era prenatal class (also called birthing or baby class). In the classic scene – the one you might have seen in sitcoms – a ring of women sit on floor mats, legs in imaginary stirrups, nervous partners behind them supporting their backs as they grunted and sweat their way through an imaginary birth.

“Hee-hee-hee-hooooo. Hee-hee-hee-hoooooo.”

Times have changed, and so have prenatal classes. Topics now include nutrition, breastfeeding, and even “kangaroo” care in addition to labour and birth.

At Public Health, we still offer
We hope the online program will also meet the needs of those living in rural areas where there might not always be enough participants to run an in-person class.

Since this program is new, we would love to hear what you think – would you be interested in learning online rather than in person?

Take a peek at what the online program looks like, and let us know in the comments below.
