Frequently asked questions

When does this class meet?

This class meets once per week for four weeks. Each class session is from 6:00pm to 9:00pm

Can I also schedule a tour of the Salem Health Family Birth Center?

This class includes a tour of the Family Birth Center! You do not need to register separately to get the tour.

Can I bring someone with me to class?

Yes. The class is built for the pregnant person and a support person (this can be anyone who will be supporting the pregnant person while they are in labor). We highly encourage everyone to bring a support person. However, multiple support persons are not permitted.

Does my support person also need to register and pay the $90?

No. The registration and cost covers both the pregnant person and the support person.

When should I take this class?

We recommend taking this class during your seventh or eighth month of pregnancy. We recommend that the final class session should occur roughly three weeks before your due date. Please note that these classes sometimes fill quickly, so we HIGHLY suggest registering early.

Is this class offered online?

No. Our curriculum is best when offered in an in-person class setting. We do not offer an online version of this course at this time.

Can medical insurance pay for this class?

The CHEC is not able to accept insurance. However, some insurance companies will offer a reimbursement payment for this class. Please contact your insurance provider for details. Our staff is happy to provide additional documentation, if requested, to help in the reimbursement process.
