For individuals who have previously given birth by cesarean delivery, and are considering a Trial of Labor after a Cesarean (TOLAC).

Please talk with your provider before taking registering for this class, to see if a Trial of Labor After Cesarean is an option for you.

This class is a one hour, one on one with a Labor and Delivery nurse to discuss options after a previous cesarean delivery. 

We will take time to discuss your previous birth experience, define what is most important to you as you consider options for this pregnancy, and what you can do to increase your chances of a vaginal delivery if you choose to labor this time. 

You will learn how to prepare for a TOLAC at MMC, and understand strategies to prepare for both a vaginal and repeat caesarean birth if needed.

We recommend attending this class during the second trimester of pregnancy.

Do you want to eat more healthfully, but think it's too expensive or difficult to do so? Then the Cooking Matters at the Store Tour (CM@TS) might be the perfect opportunity for you! The Store Tour teaches you the essentials of how to shop for nutritious food on a budget while "touring" a grocery store.

During the one and a half hour virtual group session, your instructor will:

• Go over basic nutrition considerations
• Go over how to "shop the perimeter" of the grocery store
• Share tips and tricks on how to get the best bang for your buck!

They will also encourage you to share your own experiences and pro-tips, so that they can make the Store Tour as relevant to your life as possible - and maybe learn something new themselves. All participants will receive a $10 Hannaford gift card and a Cooking Matters at the Store Tour booklet for attending, via mail.
