Prepared Childbirth
If you're pregnant and in your third trimester of pregnancy, the Prepared Childbirth classes are designed to inform you about the intellectual, physical and emotional parts of the birth process. They emphasize exercise techniques for relaxation during labor, birth and after you’ve had your baby.
Tuesdays from 6-9 p.m.
- April 15-May 13, 2025
When you register for the April 15, 2025, class, you are registering for the whole Prepared Childbirth series: Tuesdays April 15, 22, 29 and May 6, 14.
We recommend choosing a class series that ends at least three (3) weeks before your due date.
UCI Health — Fountain Valley offers a four-week series on childbirth preparation and a breastfeeding education class. Please sign up for these classes if you are a UCI Health patient who is scheduled to deliver or delivered your baby at UCI Health — Fountain Valley.
UCI Health also offers other perinatal classes such as newborn care and prenatal breastfeeding, which are open to all expectant mothers.
