Childbirth Education
Learning about pregnancy, birth, and breastfeeding just got easier! Lake Granbury Medical Center offers complimentary online childbirth education that covers a variety of topics. This program will help you gain confidence to make decisions for you and your baby.
The eLearning Childbirth Education Program is an option for those parents who cannot attend conventional prenatal classes or would like home-based education. It may also be used as a “refresher” course or to reinforce what you learned in class. It is an interactive web-based program that includes animated illustrations, videos and voice-overs and can be viewed on a PC or Mac. High speed internet is advised, but dial-up will work; it may take longer to download.
The program includes:
- Access to more than 70 videos, animated illustrations, and downloadable files
- Access to the eLearning program for forty weeks starting from the first time you log in. You will receive an access code after you register.
- One face-to-face BIRTH Day Orientation at Lake Granbury Medical Center, after you complete the online program. Orientation is held the first Saturday of every month from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. It includes a short presentation about what to expect when you're in the hospital, a question and answer session, car seat safety, safe sleep tips, a tour of the department, and more.
