Prenatal Classes

The Haldimand-Norfolk Health Unit offers two convenient options for prenatal classes: in-person or online. Register today!

In-person Classes

In-person prenatal classes are offered in Simcoe and Caledonia for a small cost.

Our prenatal classes run for a total of five sessions, once a week for 5 weeks. Classes are held in the evenings from 7-9 p.m. Classes are led by a Public Health Nurse and are informative and relaxed, with lots of time for questions and discussion.

** Please register early, as classes fill up quickly**
