The Family Maternity Unit of Ephrata Community Hospital will hold three six-week childbirth education classes beginning this month.
The classes are designed for the last two to three months of pregnancy. Classes help prepare for labor and delivery using relaxation, breathing techniques and exercises, as well as addressing the care of the newborn.
The courses, each running 7 to 9 p.m., are being held on Tuesdays, Sept. 16 through Oct. 21; Wednesdays, Sept. 17 through Oct. 22 and Thursdays, Sept. 18 through Oct. 23.
All classes are held at the Brossman Center for Health, 136 Lake St., Ephrata. The cost is $60. Grandparents are encouraged to attend the fifth session at no extra charge. Couples planning to deliver at other hospitals are invited to participate.
