INSTRUCTOR: PEGGY YANGER, RN, CCBE
Class Goals
Childbirth Education classes prepare and inform the mother and her labor support person about pregnancy and childbearing. My intention is to provide information and promote confidence needed for labor and delivery, encourage health and wellness in pregnancy, and serve as a bridge between the students and their obstetricians.
