LincolnHealth Childbirth Education

Birth is a normal, natural, process. Just like each person is unique, each pregnancy, labor and birth are unique. At Lincoln Hospital Family Birth Center, we believe the best approach is supporting the birthing person as they navigate this natural, beautiful process. We support your decisions and value client input as a vital part of the birthing experience and labor process.

As your family prepares for labor, delivery, and the arrival of this precious new baby, we are here to help make this exciting new journey the best experience it can be for all. Our childbirth education classes cover pregnancy, labor and delivery, and newborn care. We use videos, stories, photos and animations, activities and games as well as demonstrations to teach all the essential information parents need to prepare for the birth of their baby. Class sizes are limited to provide individualized attention.

It is recommended that expecting clients finish this series around 3-6 weeks before their due date. This class is for patients and their support person(s) and is a three part series.  Breastfeeding class is the third class--please see breastfeeding class offerings to sign up for the breastfeeding portion as dates vary slightly; sign up will also be discussed in class one.  Breastfeeding classes are typically 2 1/2 hours long. 

For more information about our class offerings, please call the LH Family Birth Center at 207.563.4536 to speak to one of our nurses.
