The March of Dimes- Becoming a Mom program is looking for all moms due in May, June or July of 2025 to attend FREE and provider recommended prenatal education class, designed to help, support and prepare future moms and dads for the hardest job any human can do.
Becoming a Mom program is a 6-session class that will be offered Tuesdays from 10am to Noon or 6PM to 8PM at the Clay County Health Department Meeting Room.
Whether you are experiencing a pregnancy for the first time, or the fourth, each experience is different and can create new challenges and concerns. Becoming a Mom is open to both to new or experienced moms and dads, and provides them with the opportunity to develop a support network of other parents who will have children of the same age.
Becoming a Mom will be taught by Nikki Burwell, RN. Classes will address topics such as what to expect during labor and delivery, how to be successful with breastfeeding, and how to calm your baby, tips on Self Care During and After Pregnancy, and Tools for Identifying and Dealing with Post-Partum Depression.
All participants will receive special gifts for their participation by earning points for attending each session. The class will conclude with a baby shower for participants where they can redeem their points for gifts including, but not limited to, diapers/wipes, diaper bags, strollers and Pack n Play.
Participation in Becoming a Mom is limited to ten families. Register now by call the Clay County Health Department at 785-632-3193 or by emailing Nurse Nikki Burwell at nburwell@claycountykansas.org
