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 class 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, 6:00-9:00 PM at Southwestern Medical Center's Centennial Room, located at 5602 SW Lee Blvd. in Lawton, OK. Classes are $20 each. Registration is required.
