Also part of the UPMC family:
At UPMC Hanover, we are committed to the health and safety of our patients, visitors, and staff. In light of precautions being taken to prevent any potential spread of COVID-19, and to limit the amount of traffic throughout the hospital, we have taken the necessary step to suspend all in-person prenatal classes and other consumer education classes until further notice.
In lieu of in-person prenatal classes, we are offering several online options.
Thank you for your understanding as we work to minimize the impact of COVID-19 on our community and especially our expectant mothers, new mothers, and infants.
Preparing for Childbirth covers the labor and birth process, breathing and relaxation techniques, anesthesia choices, cesarean delivery, recovery and post-partum, and baby care. A virtual tour of the Maternity Department is also included. It is designed for women who are in their seventh month of pregnancy.

This class includes discussion of policies and procedures pertaining to your baby's birth, including admission and visitation policies and safety and security procedures. A virtual tour of the maternity department at UPMC Hanover is also included along with a question-and-answer period.
We recommend attending this session around weeks 34-36 of your pregnancy. This is not a replacement for Childbirth Classes.

Breastfeeding can be very challenging, especially during the first few weeks following childbirth. Our lactation department is available if you have any questions or concerns about breastfeeding after going home from the hospital with your baby. If your concern cannot be addressed over the phone, we can arrange a virtual appointment with one of our lactation consultants or counselors at no charge.
