Whether you’re having your first kid or your fourth, motherhood isn’t easy, and even on the best days, it can be overwhelming and stressful. But Hancock Health is here to make things a little easier for you, no matter where you are in your motherhood journey.
Everything You Need, And Then Some.
Even if you aren’t a new mom, there may be things you’d wish you’d known, or support you needed but didn’t have back when you were a new parent. Hancock Health’s classes on childcare and childbirth preparation can help give you the peace of mind to make motherhood a little easier, so you’re prepared when your new baby makes their grand entrance.
Childbirth Preparation Class: Every other month, we offer a childbirth preparation class where you’ll learn the ins and outs of what childbirth is like, how to prepare for it, when to seek medical intervention, and more. There will be plenty of time to ask questions, and you’ll feel much better about going into the delivery room once you’ve taken this class.
Breastfeeding Class: This free course will help teach you everything you need to know about breastfeeding. The class is taught by certified lactation nurses, so you’ll be getting the most accurate, up-to-date tips and tricks for how to feed your baby.
Newborn Care and Safety Class: If you’re feeling pretty good about all the stuff leading up to having your baby, but you’re nervous about what to do once the baby actually arrives, then this class is for you. You’ll learn about newborn CPR, state-required testing and vaccinations, and more.
Car Seat Program: If you need a car seat, you can get enrolled in our free car seat safety program. You’ll have a one-on-one session with one of our certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPSTs), who will check your child’s current car seat for recalls and suggest safety measures. If necessary, they can even help guide you through the purchase of a new seat.
Bump Club: If you’re just looking for a little extra support from women who are on the same journey to motherhood as you, then check out our Bump Club. The social group will have snacks, mocktails, and tips and tricks to help you get ready for your baby’s arrival. Plus, you’ll leave with a free Evenflo baby carrier and baby bump photo from a professional photographer.
Whatever your needs are as a new parent, we’re ready and excited to help you welcome your child into the world in the best way possible. We can guide you through a smooth transition from womb to world, and help you prepare for everything motherhood entails. And the best part? These classes are free of charge. It’s just one more way we make health possible for you.
