The first class will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Oct. 6.

“Offering the class in one day will be beneficial to those who are traveling into Jamestown for the class. They will only have to travel to JRMC one time for the class,” said Emily Woodley, JRMC Family BirthPlace manager.

Prenatal classes at JRMC focus on childbirth preparation. During the class, participants learn what to expect during labor and delivery at JRMC, relaxation and breathing techniques and medications available during labor. They will also be educated on basic baby cares including CPR, feeding and immunizations. Each class includes a tour of the Family BirthPlace at JRMC. The class is free to those delivering at Jamestown Regional Medical Center.

For more information or to register for the prenatal class visit www.jrmcnd.com or call (701) 952-4807.
