For In-person Prenatal Classes
Prenatal education is offered free of charge to expectant parents. Classes help to prepare for feeding your newborn and what to expect in late pregnancy and during labour and delivery and the early postpartum period. Topics such as stages of labour, pain management, breathing techniques, breastfeeding and newborn care are presented and discussed.
The teams from Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre, Thunder Bay District Health Unit, and Anishnawbe Mushkiki have worked collaboratively to create two in-person prenatal classes:
- Feeding My Newborn (Recommended time to attend: after 20 weeks of pregnancy)
- Preparing For My Newborn (Recommended time to attend: after 28 weeks of pregnancy)
