Ascension Saint Thomas Hospital Midtown
Natural Moms
Are you wanting to have a natural, unmedicated birth experience? If yes, then this Natural Moms course is for you!
Preparing for childbirth can be overwhelming, but our team of nurse educators here at ASTH Midtown are here to help guide and support you through the process! We are now offering either a 3 week series or an all day/Saturday class for our busy families!
Our Natural Moms course is designed to prepare you and your support person for a natural, unmedicated birth experience. Both of the instructors will not only cover the basics of the labor and delivery process but will also focus on learning and practicing some of the most talked-about and popular coping techniques. We will include stretches and exercises to prepare your body for labor and delivery. While we are not certified instructors of Spinning Babies, Lamaze, Body Ready Method etc., we incorporate some of their teachings and principles into our classes.
As an added bonus, this course also includes the Birth Center Orientation class information that is required to be eligible to deliver in one of our special Birth Center suites. So, our moms taking this course will not have to pay for or attend the separate orientation class.
If you have any questions, please call the Family Learning Center at 615-284-6455, Monday-Friday from 9am-3pm.
All potential patients should go online to pre-register with the hospital at www.ascension.org/MidtownRegistration.
If your class required payment, a refund will be given if a cancellation request is received 2 business days (48 hours) prior to the start of the class/program. A full refund will be given for any class cancelled by the site.
