San Juan Regional Medical Center’s Childbirth Center will offer multiple sessions of its Grandparenting 101 class and Childbirth Education Crash Course in April and May.
Grandparenting 101 is a single class meant for grandparents. It covers what has changed since they raised their children and includes topics such as newborn care refreshers, car seat updates, safe sleep practices, supporting breastfeeding, ways to offer support to children and more. It is also an ideal opportunity to ask questions.
Class times are:
- 6-8:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 25.
- 1-3:30 p.m. Thursday, April 27.
- 9-11:30 a.m. Wednesday, May 10.

The Childbirth Education Crash Course is a 3½ hour accelerated course that condenses four weeks of classes into one session for parents who cannot make the monthlong time commitment.
“It is an excellent refresher course for parents who already have a child or for new parents that are unable to attend the four-week session,” said Kathy Coleman, childbirth educator. “It covers everything from what to expect during the third trimester of pregnancy, labor and delivery, postpartum concerns, to breastfeeding and newborn care.”
Class times are:
- 1:30-5 p.m. Saturday, April 15.
- 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Thursday, April 20.
- 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Saturday, May 6.
