Lamaze Childbirth Classes at Norton Suburban Hospital

Class Curriculum

The Womb Service series of Lamaze classes meets at Norton Suburban Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. The information presented is applicable to any area hospital. Our limited class size allows for more individual attention and group interaction.

As the Lamaze philosophy continuously evolves to meet the current needs of expectant couples, these classes are ideal for not only first-time parents, but also for those looking for a refresher course.

If fathers are not able to attend one or more of the classes, mothers are welcome to bring another family member or friend. Mothers sometimes prefer to come by themselves and may fully participate in class activities.

• Pre-labor and how to tell labor has begun
