Maternity Education

Congratulations on the upcoming birth of your baby! 

We are excited that you have chosen Gabrielson Clinic for your OB care.  We are here to support you every step of the way. Through our partnership with Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics, we offer education classes designed to build your confidence as they will prepare you for the upcoming birth of your baby and caring for yourself and baby when you return home.

Weekend childbirth and breastfeeding education classes are offered throughout the year. Childbirth education topics that will be covered include: breathing and relaxation techniques, the stages of labor, pain management, delivery methods, postpartum care, and newborn care. You will also receive a tour of Iowa Specialty Hospital's Maternity Center and have a chance to have your questions answered. Lunch will be provided, and the best thing is that the class is free of charge! 

Patients need to register online on the Iowa Specialty Hospital webpage. Classes are located in the Clarion boardrooms. On the day of the class, patients and their support person should enter through the ER / Outpatient entrance on the northeast side of the hospital.  You will be directed to the boardrooms upon arrival.
