Prenatal Classes

The private pay prenatal classes provide information needed to give birth confidently and make informed decisions about care.
All of the prenatal classes include access for both the pregnant woman and their support person. They offer the choice of virtual prenatal as well as a variety of small in person prenatal classes.

Virtual prenatal includes access to five different prenatal workshop topics. Including a workshop designed specifically for birthing people having a scheduled cesarean birth.

The in-person prenatal series is a three-week series located in the hospital. Registration includes a tour of the maternity unit and birthing rooms. The content covered in this series includes:
  • Evening 1: Labour and Birth
  • Evening 2: Postpartum and Baby Care
  • Evening 3: Breastfeeding


The curriculum and content has been developed and tailored in partnership with expert clinicians at St. Paul’s Hospital. Classes are offered in English, Mandarin and Cantonese.

Prices ranges from $80 per virtual workshop to $240 for the complete in-person series. They also offer private one-on-one virtual session that can be booked around your schedule and tailored to your learning needs. Private workshops are $180. If the cost of the course is a barrier for you please speak to your health care provider or email prenatalclasses@providencehealth.bc.ca to discuss alternative arrangements.
