Now that you’re pregnant
We’re here to lighten your load a bit and guide you through every stage of pregnancy, starting with your first appointment with your obstetrician (OB) or obstetrical care provider, who will be overseeing your care throughout your pregnancy.
A tour of the maternity unit is included in the one-day and three-week series prepared childbirth classes. If you are not taking a prepared childbirth class with us and wish to attend a childbirth tour, please schedule your tour around your 28th week.
