Birthing Center Classes

GRMC’s Birthing Center is focused on mom and baby care throughout your pregnancy. The Birthing Center offers two educational classes; breastfeeding and childbirth. If you have any questions about the classes offered, please contact GRMC’s Birthing Center at 830.401.7530.

Breastfeeding Classes

This class is a great way to learn and prepare to breastfeed your newborn by providing mothers with an opportunity to ask questions and voice concerns about breastfeeding. Expectant mothers, new moms, and any other members of the support team are encouraged to attend. Classes are scheduled to be held in person unless otherwise communicated in advance. When available, Birthing Center tours will be offered following the breastfeeding class. Please note the times for the English and Spanish breastfeeding classes.

Childbirth Classes

Our Birthing Center offers a variety of childbirth education classes designed to meet you where you are in your pregnancy and learning journey. Families can choose individual classes focused on preparing for labor and birth, or postpartum and newborn care. For those who prefer a more comprehensive experience, we also offer an all-day childbirth class session, that provides a complete overview of pregnancy, birth, and life after baby arrives.
