                      Prenatal and Childbirth Education Classes & Tours


                      We believe knowledge about childbirth helps you understand the physical and emotional changes that occur during pregnancy, birth and parenthood. Our experienced prenatal nurse educators offer free classes to help prepare you and your partner for your special day.

                      Breastfeeding Class

                      This class, taught by an International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant, provides evidenced-based, up-to-date breastfeeding information, designed to help moms and babies get off to the best start possible. One of the best ways to do that is to learn all that you can before your baby is born!

                      Topics include:

                      • Preparing for breastfeeding
                      • What to expect during your hospital stay
                      • Various breastfeeding positions and tips to ensure an effective latch
                      • Pumping breast milk, breast milk storage and strategies for increasing milk production
                      • Going back to work and continuing to breastfeed
                      • Common challenges in the early days and weeks of breastfeeding

                      There will also be plenty of time for questions. Individual consultation and education is provided during your hospital stay. Feel free to call our lactation warmline at (912) 486-1424 before or after your baby is born if you have any questions.

                      You may wish to bring a pillow to the classes for comfort.

                      Childbirth Education Class Series

                      "The Miracle of Birth" is a 2-class series that provides an understanding of labor and delivery, coping skills and the postpartum period. We recommend attending this session in the sixth to seventh month of pregnancy.

                      Baby Basics Class

                      This class provides information on the characteristics of normal newborns, infant care and safety issues. This class should be taken in the last trimester of pregnancy.

                      Tours

                      Women’s Pavilion tours for expectant parents and their families are held on the first Sunday of each month at 3 p.m.

                      All classes and tours meet in the Women’s Pavilion classroom. The Women’s Pavilion is located behind East Georgia Regional Medical Center, on Bermuda Run Road on the north edge of the hospital grounds.

                      Registration

                      Our prenatal classes are free and available only to expectant mothers who plan to deliver at East Georgia Regional Medical Center. Registration for all classes and tours is required. Class sizes are limited.

                      For more information regarding class details and to register, click here or call (912) 486-1057.

                      Please visit our events page for upcoming class dates.
