Bringing your baby into the world is a life-altering experience, and many expectant parents are eager to learn all they can about labor, delivery and the transitions that come before and after the baby is born.

The doctors and care teams in the Sutter Health network deliver over 30,000 babies every year, and we look forward to sharing our knowledge with you. Our childbirth preparation classes cover a full range of topics, including prenatal yoga, birthing options, the stages of labor, and relaxation techniques if you choose natural childbirth. We also offer classes about pain medications, C-sections, postpartum experiences and the amazing transition to parenthood.  

To fit your busy schedule, we offer convenient classes in numerous locations and various formats, including traditional onsite courses, weekend intensive sessions, one-day classes, and, in some locations, private in-home instruction. Our online classes are especially useful for people with limited time or for expectant mothers who are on bedrest.
