Childbirth is much more than the day or two you actually spend in the hospital. At Henrico Doctors' Hospital, we offer a plan for your entire pregnancy. Our plan features customized classes that include prenatal care, baby care and safety.

This page outlines the classes you may wish to take and helps you develop your own schedule. Early Bird class is best taken early in your pregnancy.  Otherwise, please register for prenatal classes/tour after you complete your first trimester.  This will ensure your choice of dates. If you have any questions or would like to register, please call 804-320-DOCS. 

Time permitting, you will receive a letter of confirmation stating date, time and location of chosen classes, included will be directions to the appropriate facilities. You may also access the website for directions.
