Online childbirth education is a unique alternative to Preparing for Childbirth classes that are held in the classroom. Our online option provides the same information, but lets you complete the course at your own pace, at your own computer.

Whether you're having a baby at St. John's Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital or Woodwinds Health Campus, this class was designed to meet your needs.

Expectant parents who take the online course are encouraged to supplement their learning with the Labor Skills Workshop by Amma Parenting Center. This two-hour workshop is all hands-on learning and practice of intentional relaxation, breath work, labor support, and positions for labor. The perfect complement to online learning, Labor Skills Workshop is $20 (50% off) with the purchase of a HealthEast online childbirth class. Forward your receipt via e-mail to Clare Ceballos at Amma Parenting Center and she will help you register. For more information contact Amma Parenting Center at 952-926-BABY.

How can I get the most out of online childbirth education?

There's a lot to learn as you prepare for childbirth, so it's important to take your time. Don't rush through the information. The more carefully you read it, the more prepared you'll be for your baby's birth and the first weeks of your baby's life.

The entire series takes about three hours to complete. We recommend that you carefully read through one or two sections at a time. Take notes if you'd like and jot down any questions for the childbirth educator.

To check your knowledge, complete the exercises and test in each section. Please also complete the survey at the end of the course.

How long can I access the information?

When you sign up for the online course, you will have 90 days to access it. During that time, you can review the information as often as you'd like. If you need more than 90 days, contact support@vubiz.com and request an extension.

Why do you recommend the Labor Skills Workshop after taking this class?

While our online childbirth preparation course covers all the topics you need to learn about before giving birth, hands-on practice is also very important. Our Labor Skills Workshop offers you a chance to learn and practice breathing techniques and other comfort measures with a certified childbirth educator.

What if I have questions about the material when I’m going through the online class?

You can e-mail questions to childbirth@healtheast.org.

What should I do if I have feedback on the online class?
