Monash Health offers a comprehensive one-day childbirth education session for first time parents who are birthing at Casey hospital.

You may only book programs at the hospital that you are birthing at.

The program is conducted face to face at the hospital, over one Saturday. This session will be facilitated by a midwife educator, offering the opportunity for asking questions and discussions.

We encourage you and your partner or support person to attend.

The program aims to cover topics such as:

What is labour
When to call the hospital
Things the birthing woman and their support person can assist them with in labour - at home and in the hospital
Informed Consent and refusal
Medical options for pain relief in hospital
Medical intervention and care
Newborns' communication and adaption after birth
Initiating breastfeeding
Becoming a new parent
Safety at home

We recommend you look as soon as possible and select and pay for a program that you will attend when you are around 28-32 weeks pregnant. All bookings are through Humanitix. Please complete the booking using the birthing woman's name. You and your partner are encouraged to attend. Cost $ 150.00/ticket. One ticket is for two people.

The session runs from 8.30am- 4.00pm and will be held at Casey Hospital Kangan Drive, Berwick.

If you are part of a Continuity of Care Experience, please contact us before inviting your midwife to any program.

We look forward to sharing this part of your journey with you.
