WABASH, Ind. – Parkview Wabash Hospital is now providing community-based prenatal education classes. These classes are free and available to all moms-to-be and their support persons, regardless of where the mother-to-be plans to deliver.
The first of this series is “Fur babies meet new babies.” This class will be offered Thursday, June 29, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Parkview Wabash Hospital Forum. Below is a class description.
When you bring a new baby home, your dog will face a number of novel sights, sounds and smells. Your pet may find some of them upsetting, especially if Fido or Fifi didn’t spend time with children as a puppy. Having a new baby in the house will alter your daily routine, so your dog’s schedule will change, too.
Learn how to make this transition easy for everyone with some wisdom from Deborah Bryant and Janis Crary, certified professional dog trainers. Together they will explore these topics and discuss how to prepare your dog for the new baby entering the home.
Traditional prenatal classes will also be offered in conjunction with the opening of the Family Birthing Center at Parkview Wabash Hospital. Classes will include: childbirth preparation, safe sleep, breastfeeding and car seat safety. Parkview Wabash Hospital will offer childbirth services with the opening of the new Family Birthing Center in the renovated facility in mid-2018.
For questions, or to register for this free class, call Ashli Pershing, BSN, RN, CLC, birth planner/lactation consultant, at 260-569-2308.
