Hunterdon Medical Center’s Lamaze classes are for anyone expecting a baby. The Lamaze classes are very popular among expectant mothers. In the classes, you will learn all about labor and birth. These classes focus on the birth process and not just breathing. Comfort measures, a hospital tour, medical interventions, medications, and anesthesia are all discussed. Couples are encouraged to use the comfort measures and breathing techniques that work for them. Working with your body helps labor progress faster and more easily. Whether you choose to use medications or not, these classes provide you with the information you will need to help with relaxation.
Weekend Lamaze classes are held approximately 12 times per year. The weekend classes include everything that is covered in the weekday evening classes, but in a different format.
Couples should plan on attending the class as close to their due date as possible.
