Preparing for Your Labor and Delivery

Congratulations on the upcoming birth of your child! We look forward to sharing this special event with you. We encourage you to pre-register online for your labor and delivery at the birthing center closest to you, and for moms in the Albuquerque area, we invite you to take a virtual tour of the family birthing and mother/baby care units at both Presbyterian Hospital and Presbyterian Rust Medical Center. The videos will walk you through how to get to the units and what to expect when you arrive, during your stay on the unit, and even after you leave.

Sign Up for Prenatal Education and Support

We offer a wide range of classes to help you and your family prepare for your new baby. These classes include important information to help you better prepare for the last weeks of pregnancy, labor and birth, and breastfeeding. Classes also help you and your family members learn to care for your newborn, including special classes for partners and grandparents.

Classes are available in-person and online. Our online classes are available in multiple languages including English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Arabic, Japanese and Chinese.
