Prenatal Classes
At Southwestern Medical Center, we know the birth of your baby is a life-changing event you will remember forever. Pregnancy is a journey filled with excitement, joy, and maybe, a slight fear of the unknown. Our prenatal classes will help you understand the labor and delivery process by answering questions about the birth of your child, as well as prepare you for what to expect when you are at home with your family. The more you know, the more likely you will approach your pregnancy journey with confidence.
Classes are held quarterly at Southwestern Medical Center's Centennial Room, located at 5602 SW Lee Blvd. in Lawton, from 6 - 8 p.m.. Classes are $20 each. Registration is required.
Classes
Classes consist of three courses. Each course is held from 6 - 8 p.m. Classes in 2025 are scheduled for:
Class One - Labor Experience
Join us on a journey of the labor experience. This class will make sure you have a clear understanding of what is included in your labor experience at the hospital, what to expect, and a tour of our Birthing Center. This class will be sure to calm the nerves of this often-unknown, life-changing experience.
Class Two - Newborn Care
Ensure you have all the tools you need when you take your precious bundle of joy home. In this all-inclusive class, you will be trained to perform infant CPR and learn how to care for your newborn after you leave the hospital.
Class Three - Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding takes practice, and this section will provide you with the knowledge to be successful. Our certified lactation consultant will teach you what is normal and reassuring and what is a possible warning sign. We will also cover resources available to help new mothers and their babies throughout the breastfeeding journey.
Classes are $20 each. Registration is required.
