Stanford Healthcare Tri-Valley is offering tours for our expectant parents. Our tours will help families become familiar with our Labor & Delivery and Postpartum units as well as answer questions about your upcoming stay with us. Tour size is limited, so bring only one adult support person.

Having a baby is a special and exciting time in a woman’s life. However, delivery and the demands of caring for a newborn can overshadow the importance of self-care and recovery for mothers in the post-pregnancy phase. Common physical issues, which are often ignored, include urinary leakage, pelvic pain, abdominal weakness, low back pain, and constipation. The good news is that these are treatable conditions. Moms tend to put everyone else before themselves. When you are healthy, you are better able to care for your loved ones.

What participants will learn from this two-part class:

• Introduction to the pelvic floor muscles and pelvic health therapy
• Birth prep as it relates to the pelvic floor
• How to care for themselves, specifically techniques to rehabilitate from pregnancy and delivery
• Knowledge about postpartum recovery and how to prevent future injuries/issues
• Recognize when to reach out to health care professionals

Part One will be a one-hour session in-person intended for before delivery.
Part Two will be a one-hour session via Zoom intended for after delivery.

Join other new moms in a virtual open discussion about infant changes/needs, breastfeeding, sleeping habits and many other topics. Facilitated by a lactation consultant.

In this in-person class you will learn about the labor process, common medical interventions and medications used in labor, cesarean delivery, and what to expect when you deliver at Stanford Healthcare Tri-Valley. This class will also include a tour of our Labor & Delivery and Postpartum units. This Express class will not review comfort techniques, or the postpartum period, breastfeeding or infant care. Classes are open to parent, co-parent, and independent parents (2 Adult students/registration, no children please).

 In this online course, you will learn techniques to massage, bond with, and provide nurturing touch to your child. This class is suitable for infants from birth through 12 months old.

The class will be taught live on Zoom with demonstrations, and you will have the opportunity to practice with your infant. This is an interactive class that requires communication between the instructor and participants. The instructor will observe your massage techniques and make suggestions accordingly, so it is expected that participants have their cameras on for class when able to.

This will be a 1-hour class taught for 5 consecutive weeks on the same day each week.
