10 years in the making…

A Need…

For many, finding out that they are pregnant is an exciting time! But once the initial excitement is over, what’s next?

Prenatal classes are a great way to prepare yourself and/or your partner for not only the labour and delivery process, but also the expected care management in the doctor's office, triage department, labour room and operating room. The classes should also prepare you for the immediate postpartum phase, including feeding options, diapering, and taking baby home from the hospital. 

As Labour and Delivery Registered Nurses, we ask women daily if they have taken prenatal classes. We get a few responses, but often we hear: “No, I couldn’t get into a class” or “No, we didn’t want to waste a weekend”. From this came the idea for change!

An Idea…

Labour Day Prenatals is the brainchild and labour of love of two Labour and Delivery nurses who want everyone to get the prenatal education they deserve. We feel that becoming educated about all the available options is the best preparation!

A Passion…

At Labour Day Prenatals, we aim to empower women, partners and families in preparation for the birth of their babies.

What makes us different? Our goal as Registered Nurses is to tailor your class directly to your needs and questions, to give you evidenced-based information…AND to be accessible throughout your pregnancy. Pregnancy is complex, let us support you during AND after pregnancy with all of our care services!

“I am so happy that you offered this service at a time I needed it! I am truly satisfied with the money I spent! Price is what you pay, value is what you get. I truly feel that this course even for me was high in value. Doing this one on one is amazing. It was so personal and comfortable, and I know Chris appreciates having a resource he can turn to. I don’t think we would have got that in a massive class.”
