Birth Journey Preparation

CONGRATULATIONS! You’re expecting, and we look forward to meeting you and sharing in your birth journey.

We know you may have questions about our birthing options, labor support, and comfort care at The Birthplace. Every birth is unique and very special. Our classes are designed for expectant parents seeking information about labor, birth, coping skills, and relaxation techniques.

Your partner/support person is encouraged to attend and will learn how to be supportive, empowered, and actively involved. As part of the class, we will end with a detailed tour of The Birthplace! Let us help you look forward to the birth of your baby with confidence, support, and joy.

  • The class fee is $40 per class (includes expectant parent and one partner/support person).

  • Limited scholarships are available if needed. Please call 207-553-6340 to see if you qualify.

  • All classes are held at Mercy Fore River Hospital, in our 3rd floor conference room.

  • Class time: 6:00–8:30 PM
