Expecting a baby is an exciting time for pregnant women, and a bit of good information can make it the best experience possible. To help, Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital is offering a one-day intensive childbirth class on Saturday, Sept. 7, from noon to 6 p.m.
The class will be instructed by Stephanie Marshall, RN, and Trista Selfridge, RN. Class topics include:
• Preparing for the challenges of labor and delivery.

The class is free for those who plan to deliver at Samaritan North Lincoln Hospital’s Family Birthing Center. Refreshments and snacks will be provided, along with the opportunity to tour the Family Birthing Center.
