Pregnancy Classes & Tours

The birth of a new baby is a happy time that is filled with many changes. You will have questions about the ways your life will change as you become a parent. Whether you are expecting your first child or you are already a parent, Parkland provides education classes in a caring environment where you are encouraged to ask questions and talk openly about any worries. Classes are taught by nurses, childbirth teachers and lactation consultants.

To register for any of the classes, please call 214-590-BEBE or 214-590-2323 for help in both English and Spanish. Space is limited, so please sign up for each class in advance.

Preparation for childbirth classes

This is a series of two classes that will help parents get ready for the birth of their baby. You will learn:

  • What to expect while you are pregnant
  • What to expect during labor and delivery
  • How to relax and breathe during labor and delivery
  • Ways your birth partner can help you during labor and delivery
  • More about the hospital, including a tour of the building and the Labor and Delivery area

The classes are taught by certified childbirth teachers and nurses. Classes fill up quickly, so register in the middle of your second trimester of pregnancy. Because babies can sometimes arrive early, it’s best not to wait until close to your due date to take your class.

Class times and location

English:   9 a.m. – 4 p.m., second and third Saturday of every month (two classes total) 
Spanish:
  9 a.m. – 4 p.m., fourth Saturday and Sunday of every month (two classes total)
Location:
  6th floor of the main hospital, conference room 06-439/06-440

Breastfeeding classes

We invite you to join our breastfeeding classes for parents expecting a new baby. You will learn:

  • Why breastfeeding is good for babies, moms and dads
  • How to get started
  • How to make lots of milk and how to know when your baby is getting enough milk
  • Returning to work and continuing to breastfeed
  • How to prepare for any possible breastfeeding issues you may face

The breastfeeding classes are taught by certified lactation consultants. These classes should be taken during the last trimester – after the 27th week of pregnancy. Moms and dads are both welcome.

Class times and location

English:   9 a.m. – noon, first Saturday of every month
Spanish:
  1 – 4 p.m., first Saturday of every month
Location:
  6th floor of the main hospital, conference room 06-439/06-440

Lactation services

You may have questions about breastfeeding your baby and how to get started. We are here to help. Our certified lactation consultants can visit your room after your baby is born. This free service will allow us to help you with any questions or concerns while you are still in the hospital. Talk to your nurse to schedule a visit with a lactation consultant.

Hospital tours

A hospital tour is included for those who register for childbirth classes. Couples not attending a childbirth class can attend a free tour. Tours are offered in English and Spanish. To get the most out of your tour:

  • Please plan to arrive ten minutes before start time.
  • Wear comfortable walking shoes.
  • Please do not bring children on tour.
  • No registration is required.

Tour times and location

English:   1 p.m., second Monday of every month except holidays
3 p.m. second Saturday of every month except holidays
Spanish:
  1 p.m., third Monday of every month except holidays 
3 p.m. fourth Saturday of every month except holidays
Location:
  You will meet in the hospital lobby next to the gift shop
