going to have a baby is essential to first-time mothers and very beneficial
to those who may have already had a baby. At St. Gabriel’s Hospital, our
goal is to provide a comprehensive prenatal education program, which prepares
the entire family for the arrival of a new child. We welcome all expectant
mothers, fathers (or other support persons) to our classes. Please bring

and Your Baby which is distributed through your doctor’s office. (One will
be provided the first night if needed.)
