Online Prenatal Classes – What Will You Learn?

MAY 11, 2023 BY JULIANA PARKER, RNC-OB, C-EFM, CLE

Online prenatal classes are a great way to prepare for labor and delivery from the comfort of your home.  Some classes are pre-recorded while others, like MyPregnancyPro‘s classes are taught by a live instructor, who is also a Registered Nurse.  These are two very important elements for an online prenatal class.  First, it means that your instructor is immediately available for questions as your questions come up during class and secondly, it means that your instructor has real labor room experience.  Because of this real experience, the information you receive will be accurate and realistic. Our goal is to eliminate fear and surprises from your birth.

How do we do that? Well, during your online prenatal class with MyPregnancyPro, you will learn the following information:

• Birth Planning – what it is, how to write one and the best way to use one.

• Anatomy and Physiology – the various parts of your pregnancy anatomy and their roles.
