It can be overwhelming to think about all the changes that are happening to you and the adjustments in becoming a family. Fortunately, there are plenty of resources and help available to make these transitions easier for expectant families. A whole range of classes are available with information on early pregnancy, childbirth preparation, and even special classes for siblings, to get them ready for their new brother or sister. Other classes include breastfeeding preparation, baby CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation), and baby care--a primer on bathing, diapering, and how to decide on the equipment and tools you'll need.

Consult your health care provider and health care team for more information.
