Parents, join us for our childbirth class, to prepare physically and emotionally for pregnancy, birth and your new role as parents.

Class registration is available on henryford.com.  

Send an email to [email protected] if you have questions.

Our classes are taught by our own Labor and Delivery Nurses. Help make your birth experience the best possible with comfort and relaxation techniques, birth and intervention information, bonding and breastfeeding. This childbirth class gives the opportunity to interact with other couples, and reinforce the information. You will receive complete information about your hospital stay, and all that Ascension St. John has to offer.

We are excited to announce we will be gifting each registrant an "Understanding Birth" book and exclusive web app that works on any type of mobile device or computer.  The book and app are a perfect companion to our program! The Injoy app includes engaging videos, 3D animations, helpful web links, downloadable PDFs, and a Parent's Toolbox loaded with interactive tools. It is yours to keep and share with your support team! 

Anyone, from any hospital, is welcome to take our classes! To learn more about our classes, please visit our homepage.  For additional questions or if you are having trouble registering, please send  an email  to [email protected] . We are happy to help!
