Classes

You're getting closer to meeting your baby, but what does this process look like, how do you navigate the sensations of labor and birth, and what can partners do to help? In this well rounded class, we will cover those questions and more, including but not limited to pain management/comfort techniques, decision making, interventions, medications, cesarean births, and the early postpartum healing. The goal of this class is for you have the tools you need to be more confident and less stressed as you look forward to the new experience of welcoming your baby.

Our Complete New Baby Class combines the key elements of our individual Infant Care, Breastfeeding, and Infant & Child Safety classes into one for our families who want this information bundled into one class. Spend the day learning about how to care for your baby, car seat safety, baby behaviors, breastfeeding tips, hunger cues, baths, safety plans, preventing choking, and so much more! By the end of class, you will feel more confident in your new parent skills, and be on track with getting to know, feed, and bond with your baby. 

Classes are opent to parent, co-parent, and independent parents (2 students/registration).

Stanford Healthcare Tri-Valley is offering tours for our expectant parents. Our tours will help families become familiar with our Labor & Delivery and Postpartum units as well as answer questions about your upcoming stay with us. Tour size is limited, so bring only one adult support person.

Having a baby is a special and exciting time in a woman’s life. However, delivery and the demands of caring for a newborn can overshadow the importance of self-care and recovery for mothers in the post-pregnancy phase. Common physical issues, which are often ignored, include urinary leakage, pelvic pain, abdominal weakness, low back pain, and constipation. The good news is that these are treatable conditions. Moms tend to put everyone else before themselves. When you are healthy, you are better able to care for your loved ones.

What participants will learn from this two-part class:

• Introduction to the pelvic floor muscles and pelvic health therapy
• Birth prep as it relates to the pelvic floor
• How to care for themselves, specifically techniques to rehabilitate from pregnancy and delivery
• Knowledge about postpartum recovery and how to prevent future injuries/issues
• Recognize when to reach out to health care professionals
