Birth and Parenting Classes

Register here for Duke Health's Preparing for Baby Program. The Preparing for Baby program offers virtual and in-person classes that discuss:

• Labor and Postpartum Care
• Breastfeeding and Pumping
• Newborn Care and Safety
• Adult, Child, and Infant CPR, Choking Rescue, and AED use

More recorded classes are available, including Pelvic Floor Health, C-Section, High-Risk Pregnancy Care, and classes in Spanish

You can register for classes at any time during pregnancy. But please choose class dates that happen after you reach 28 weeks of pregnancy. This is important to make sure there is room for everyone! If you are expecting an early baby or preterm labor, you can take classes earlier. 

WakeMed North and Cary Hospitals also provide Birth and Family Education classes. If these locations are more convenient for you, click here for details.
