you are going to have a baby is essential to first-time mothers and very
beneficial to those who may have already had a baby. At St. Gabriel’s Hospital,
our goal is to provide a comprehensive prenatal education program, which
prepares the entire family for the arrival of a new child. We welcome all
expectant mothers, fathers (or other support persons) to our classes. Please
bring your handbook entitled The Journey Begins - A Guide to Caring for
Yourself and Your Baby which is distributed through your doctor’s office.
(One will be provided the first night if needed.)
