.Pre-natal classes provide
for„.00ster.:4irthi,..better lives
There are many ways to
measure the development of any
modern society but surely one of
the most accurate is the means
which have been provided to im-
prove the health standards of its
Citizens — and more particularly
of its unborn children.
In. Huron County, as in other
jurisdittions nearby, health care
is certainly among, the best in the
world — yet in at least one par
aspect it is being ignored
to some degree by those whO may
benefit most. Pre-natal classes,
which offer a whole new vista of
Well-being for parents and child-
ren alike, are attended by only a
small portion of expectant
mothers and fathers.
In Windham,, for instance,
where the classes have been
available for several years, at-
tendance has shrunk to six or
seven. The classes, which are
,entirely free, are sponsored by
the Huron County Health Unit.
Young mothers, especially
those who arg expecting their
first child, may not be aware of
all the advantages provided by a
pre-natal course. The purpose of
the classes is, firstly, to prepare
' the mother, both physically and
emotionally, for the arrival of the
ha*. A series of exercises teach-
, es relaxation, a vital factor in re-
ducing the djscomfort of delivery
and the possibility Of complica-
tions. Breathing techniques are
also important during labor and
the expectant mother is taught,
through practice, to master the
proper. system.
To some it may come as a sur- .
prise that expectant• fathers are
very welcome to attend the.
classes, ;for it is now recognized'
that the full understanding and
Co-operation of the husband can,.
and usually does make the whole
process of child-bearhid and rais-
ing much more rewarding. The
fathers are by no means corn-
'pelled to attend but many do so'
• because of their very persOnal in-
terest in the ,great coming event.
In addition to the subjects_
related to the actual delivery of
the new baby, instruction and
advice is given on such subjects
as proper pre-natal nutrition for
the expectant mother and how it
benefits her health and that of the
unborn child. Feeding of the in- .
fant, bathing,' health of the
mother after delivery and the im,-
•portance of getting enough rest
are all part of the course. Family
relationships and the problerns
which sometimes arise with older
children are discussed, as is the
importance of the "spacing" of
pregnancies so that 'the mother
has the gbod health and the time
to give, every member of the
family the care and good cheer
which are so important in the
rearing • of happy, well-balanced
youngsters.
.If fatherS choose to attend the
course, they are not expected to
be at every class, for some of the ,
sessions are directed solely to
those problems which are of con-
cern to the mother. As most
couples know, fathers are some-
times permitted to accompany
the mother.into the deliver}, mom
and actually see the birth of their
own children. However, this pee-
mission Is dependent Upon 'the
rules of the particular hospital
where, the birth takes place, as,.
well as on the doctor in charge.
The general experience is that
mothers anti fathers who have at-
tended the pre-natal classes ap:
proach the arrival of the child
with far less anxiety than they
would otherwiSe—and less anxi-
ety, means less tension, greater
relaxation and less painful or
complicated deliveries:
