Dandenong Childbirth Education-Labour, Birth & Baby: 16th of August, 2025

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

You may only book a program at the hospital 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 and communication
• Breastfeeding
• Early parenting
• Safety at home

We recommend you book as soon as possible and select and pay for a program that is on 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.

Please select your date carefully, as we may not be able to reschedule or refund your booking. 

The session runs from 08.30am - 4.00pm and will be held at Dandenong Hospital, David Street, Dandenong.

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