*Canceled

Out of an abundance of caution, at this time we are not offering the following in-person sessions: Maternity Tours, Childbirth Experience, Preparing and Caring for Baby and Breastfeeding 101. This is in the best interest and consideration of all expectant families. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

In the event that your baby arrives before we resume any sessions, we will be happy to email you information to guide you from your arrival in the hospital through delivering your baby. In addition, if this is your first child we will mail to you, free of charge, the educational literature that you would receive if you attended the in-person sessions. This evidence-based information is based on our course books and classroom resources.

Please contact Kathleen.Johnson@rwjbh.org with any questions you have and to request to receive the educational literature.
