Celebrating baby at HCM

While everyone celebrates the birth of a baby, Hill Country Memorial Obstetrics Team recognizes that welcoming a new baby to the world begins long before birth and continues long after.

So, when a family gets the big news that they will be growing, that is the time to start planning.

Hill Country Memorial can help with classes and guidance, including:

Prepared Childbirth Class

This offering helps expectant moms — and dads — understand the process of labor and delivery, including techniques to cope with labor.

Newborn Care Class

The HCM OB Team will lead parents and caretakers through the steps of caring for newborns, including diaper changing, bathing, safe sleeping practices, cord care, and identifying common infant health issues.

Breastfeeding Class

An expert breastfeeding educator will help new moms master the basics, including anatomy, positioning, how to hand express and use a breast pump, and how to prevent common problems.
