EARLY HOME CARE CLASS with Megan Williamson, Newborn Care Specialist
This is a complimentary class that is required for all families planning to give birth at FWBC for the first time. The ideal time to take this class is between 34-37 weeks gestation. At the birthing center, all healthy babies are discharged at 4-6 hours of life. Both mom and baby will also have a follow up in home visit with either a nurse or midwife 24-48 hours after the birth. The purpose of this class is to teach safety measures to these families who will be caring for a newborn that is less than 24 hours old.
