A variety of topics are discussed and a tour of Fairview’s Women’s Health and Birth Center is provided. Cost is $10 per couple (scholarships are available). Parents unable to attend the refresher Prenatal Class, but who would like to review what to expect during labor and delivery, may obtain just the educational materials for a fee of $5.

Sibling-To-Be Tour A visit to the Women’s Health and Birth Center will help your other children prepare for the arrival of a new baby brother or sister. Children can bring a favorite doll or stuffed animal to pretend holding and changing a new baby. They will see a room like the one mom and the baby will be in during the hospital stay. This tour is geared for pre-schoolers and young school-age children. Try to tour one month before the baby is due to be born. No fee.
