Register for Wednesday, December 16, 2009.

Columbia St. Mary's offers two 2 1/2 hour classes specifically for those expecting multiples:

• Twins or More - Pregnancy (offered in odd-number months) covers taking care of yourselves during a multiple pregnancy, and gives you the opportunity to meet other families expecting more than one baby. This class does not focus on labor.
• Twins or More - Postpartum (offered in even-number months) includes information on recovering during the postpartum period, breastfeeding more than one baby, and strategies for parenting multiples in the first year of life.
   
  The fee is $40 per couple for each class. 
   
  Because these classes do not cover labor and birth, parents who sign up for one or both of the "Twins or More" classes are invited to attend Prepared Childbirth class sessions ala carte at a discount. Call our class registration staff for more information at (414) 963-WELL (9355).
