Prenatal Class At Home Courses
After looking at birth trends in the Columbia area, we realized that there are a lot of high risk pregnancies out there. The obstetricians confirmed this for us; and also told us many of the moms can't attend traditional prenatal classes. Many mothers themselves over the years have called to find out what their resources were when they had to be on bedrest. This got us thinking; and led to the Prenatal Class At Home courses. Ironically, we have large volume of professional women with heavy work schedules checking out these courses as well!
Prenatal Class At Home is a self paced education system designed for families to help prepare for this new baby. Each courses had video's, DVD's, a book, handouts specific to the mom's pregnancy and other related materials. Simply follow the step by step instructions, reviewing as needed. The courses are "checked out" for a specific number days, then turned in with mom keeping the book and handouts. Telephone follow up with a Lamaze certified childbirth educator is offered to answer specific questions mom or dad may have.
