Prenatal Education

We encourage all our patients to enroll in prenatal classes. This is especially important for first time parents. They are important in the birthing process. The classes allow you to both ask additional questions as well as provide you with invaluable information to prepare you for your birth experience.

We encourage patients to wait until the completion of the first trimester since pregnancy loss is 20-25% but to sign up during the beginning of the second trimester to avoid dissappointment in class selection.

Kindly call Inova Health System for hospital sponsored classes. They will provide you with the details as to time and costs. You may view their web site for additional information at Inova Health System.
