Bump & Bloom

Prenatal Class:

As a local L&D nurse and Lactation Consultant, I’ve now partnered with other Registered Nurses in the Edmonton-area to bring you a comprehensive, in-person Labour, Delivery and Breastfeeding class in St.Albert & Spruce Grove.

With backgrounds in pregnancy, labour, delivery, postpartum, and lactation care, the instructors bring a wide range of knowledge and expertise!

This one-day Prenatal class will leave you feeling prepared and informed during your labour, delivery and postpartum journey. We will walk you through natural, physiological, and medical processes, interventions, and terminology so that you can feel confident about your baby’s birth! We will also equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to start your journey in infant care and feeding.
