At Wooster Community Hospital, we believe each birth is unique and special. As you prepare for the upcoming birth of your baby, we invite you to participate in our series of educational programs designed to enhance your childbirth experience.

Education plays an important role in preparing you and your partner for childbirth and parenthood. For your convenience, we offer a variety of classes. To obtain the full benefit from your class, be sure to register during your seventh month of pregnancy.

Our childbirth education classes include:

You and your support person will be introduced to all childbirth options available to you for labor and delivery. Class topics include:
  • Relaxation and breathing techniques
  • Role of your support person
  • Labor-coping options such as positioning and ambulation, continuous support, hydrotherapy, IV pain medication, nitrous oxide, and epidurals
  • Discussion about the delivery experience:
    • Vaginal and cesarean section
    • Post-partum care
  • Basics of bringing home your new baby & what to expect

Just Breathe
The Just Breathe Course is encouraged for anyone interested in learning more about managing the discomforts associated with labor and birth. It is perfect for the woman that desires a lower intervention birth experience, a woman wanting a refresher course after already having a previous child, a woman wanting to learn more ways her support person can be involved in the labor process, or just a first-time mother looking for the best labor experience possible. This class truly would be a benefit for families but HURRY, class sizes are kept small, and they could fill up quickly. This class is taught by an experienced Perinatal Registered Nurse that works in the Women's Pavilion and has specialized training in supporting women during low intervention labor and birth. These classes take place on Wednesday evenings from 6:30-8:30pm Registration required Topics that will be taught during the class:
  • Setting the stage for maximum comfort during your labor
  • Creation of a "Birth Preferences" Worksheet
  • How to use comfort measures to manage pain in labor
  • A review of natural birth methods available
  • How your support person can be an active participant in the labor and delivery process
 

Wednesday June 29th from 6:30-8:30pm Wednesday August 24th from 6:30-8:30pm Wednesday September 28th from 6:30-8:30pm Wednesday October 26th from 6:30-8:30pm Wednesday November 20th from 6:30pm-8:30pm

Tour the Women's Pavilion

In-person tours are currently not being held due to COVID-19. Please refer to our virtual tour below.

Zika Virus Update

Because the Zika virus can be spread from a pregnant woman to her baby, and potentially result in severe birth defects, we get many questions about the risks of infection and how to protect against it.

We recommend these Resources for Patients About Zika Virus by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Patients with particular concerns should contact their obstetrician.

Wooster Community Hospital’s Women’s Pavilion is committed to making the birth of your child the most memorable day of your life. For more information about the childbirth education classes, tours, or services we offer, call (330) 202-5548. We look forward to meeting you and cannot wait to be a part of your special day.
