Camosun Prenatal Classes

Prenatal classes help parents make informed choices by providing unbiased education regarding pregnancy, labour, and birth. We support clients of midwives and physicians who are having home or hospital births. Our instructors are RN’s with specializations in lactation, childbirth, prenatal and post-natal care.

Classes are taught at Victoria General Hospital and include a hospital tour led by the instructor. We teach stages of pregnancy, stages of labour, preparing for labour and delivery including labour techniques, interventions and options during labour and delivery, and caring for mom and baby.
