Join us for an evening discussion about&nbsp;issues that concern expectant parents. Each class helps to form their own topic list. Common subjects include: circumcision; using epidurals&nbsp;during labor;&nbsp;fears of breastfeeding; fast emergency births; dealing with the expectations of childbirth; choosing a doctor for the baby; avoiding&nbsp;Cesarean births or episiotomies, etc. This is not a childbirth class format; it is an exchange of information between parents about current issues that are of interest to them at this important time in their lives. Class is facilitated by a childbirth instructor, nurse and lactation consultant. Parents will need to schedule a tour of the maternity center on a separate date. </i><i>Call 264-1773 for more information.
