Please call 320.231.7860 and
ask for help with the Childbirth Education Classes.

• The Gift of Motherhood eLearning program is a
  flash-based online book that will allow you to understand
  all aspects of pregnancy
  and childbirth.

• The most recent version of Adobe Flash

• A fast internet connection (DSL, Cable or other broadband)

• Adobe Reader

• A computer with sound and speakers or headphones

• More computer system requirements

• Read the eBook just like you would a traditional book -
  click on the edge of the book to turn the page.

• Be sure to click on all of the icons to learn more. Some icons open a movie or animation, others give you added information.

• If you see a word in green, you can move your mouse over it to learn the definition.

• Visit the eLearning Tips & System Requirements
  section of this website.

• A good time to register is
  after the fifth month, but before the ninth month of
  your pregnancy.

Is the Childbirth Education Series only for moms-to-be who are enrolled in a public health program?

• No, you do not have to be participating in a current public health program. Kandiyohi County Public Health encourages all moms-to-be and their partners / labor support to learn about having a healthy pregnancy, delivery, and baby.

If one of the dates in my series doesn't work for me, can I take that class during the next series?

• Yes, Please let Rice Education know your plans, by calling 320.231.8920.

• See next question

• The complete Pregnancy to Parenting Series, which includes online eLearning program, three face-to-face classes, Gift of Motherhood booklet, and, Breastfeeding booklet, is $50.

• There is an Express Series option for $25 which includes either the Gift of Motherhood booklet or the Breastfeeding booklet, and one face-to-face class. This option does NOT include the online eLearning program.

  classes may be covered by your health plan.

  may be available to help with the cost of the classes for those who do not have insurance and are unable to pay.

  Tuesdays during the series month, in Lakeland
  Auditorium at Rice Memorial Hospital. Lakeland
  Auditorium is on the lower level, through the tunnel to Lakeland Health Center.

• We are proud of the
  beautiful environment and great care provide at Rice and hope you consider
  having your baby here, however, all moms-to-be in our region are welcome to register for this series.
