Because our classes are taught by Registered Nurses, you may be eligible to claim the cost of your prenatal classes through your extended health benefits or health insurance plan. All receipts include our College of Registered Nurses of Alberta (CARNA) registration number. For any questions, please contact us at hello@hellobabyrn.com

Our classes are held at Mountain View Medical Center Seton, located directly across the street from South Health Campus. The clinic is on the second floor with access to elevators, and public washrooms.

Parking is free in assigned spots. Street parking is also available free of charge along the west side of the building.

While our classes fill out quickly and numbers are capped, feel free to email hello@hellobabyrn.com requesting that your name be placed on a waiting list for the session of your choice in case a spot should open up.

We encourage you to bring one birth support person of your choice to each class as they will learn how to best support you and how to help make your birth experience a shared experience.

Also bring a water bottle and dress in light layers as the room temperature may vary.

You can expect to gain essential knowledge and skills related to pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood. Our classes cover a range of topics including prenatal care, labor and delivery, feeding including breatfeeding, newborn care, and postpartum wellness. You will also learn about the physical and emotional changes that occur during pregnancy, as well as techniques for relaxation, pain management, and coping with labor. Our experienced instructors will provide evidence-based information, practical tips, and support to help you feel prepared and empowered as you prepare for the arrival of your baby. Additionally, our classes create a supportive community where you can connect with other expectant parents, share experiences, and build confidence in your journey to welcoming a new baby.

Ideally, schedule your INITIAL class between weeks 25 and 32 of pregnancy to ensure completion before your due date. Starting too early might result in forgetting vital information, but beginning too late risks not finishing the course if your baby arrives earlier than expected.
