Why Take Parenting and Pregnancy Classes?
Becoming a parent is one of the most exciting—and overwhelming—experiences of your life. Whether you're expecting your first baby or adjusting to life with a newborn, it's normal to feel unsure about what to do next. That’s where the Family Empowerment Program (FEP) from Pregnancy Decision Health Centers (PDHC) comes in.
We offer free parenting and pregnancy classes to help you feel confident, supported and equipped, and you can earn free baby supplies along the way.
Why Take Parenting and Pregnancy Classes?
You'll Gain the Knowledge You Need
From understanding the stages of labor to learning how to swaddle a newborn, parenting and pregnancy classes cover essential topics that help you feel more prepared. Many of our sessions include:
Labor and delivery basics
Newborn care (feeding, diapering, sleep routines)
Breastfeeding supplies
Safe sleep practices
Infant health and wellness
The more you know, the more confident you’ll feel navigating the months ahead.
You'll Feel More Confident and Less Stressed
The early stages of parenting can feel chaotic, but knowing what to expect can ease a lot of the worry. PDHC classes are designed to help you recognize healthy behaviors, identify warning signs and know when it’s time to reach out for support.
We hear it all the time: “Just being in a space where I could ask questions made me feel so much better.”
You'll Connect with Other Parents
One of the best parts of the Family Empowerment Program is the opportunity to build community. When you attend in person, you’ll meet other moms and dads who are walking a similar path. You don’t have to figure this out alone.
Many parents leave class feeling encouraged just knowing someone else is experiencing the same struggles and victories.
You'll Strengthen Your Parenting Partnership
When partners take classes together, it creates space for better communication, shared goals and a stronger bond. Classes give couples tools to plan for baby’s arrival, share parenting responsibilities and support one another during the transition to parenthood.
Plus, You'll Receive FREE Baby Items!
When you participate in parenting and pregnancy classes through PDHC, you can receive free baby supplies including:
Diapers and baby wipes
Baby clothing
Breastfeeding support items
Car seats and portable cribs (with class completion and eligibility)
Our goal is to support you practically and emotionally as you grow into parenthood.
