Pre -natal classes
provide
for easier births, 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
prove the health standards 'of its
citizens — and more particularly
of' its unborn children.
In. Huron County,, as in other.
jurisdictions nearby, health care-
is
areis certainly among the best in the
world yet in at least one par-
ticular aspect\ t 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 Wingham, 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
Resurrection is topic
as Anglican Women meet
"The message of Resurrection
is the heart of the gospel." Those
were the words of Mrs. M. Brad-
burn as she spoke on the Easter
theme at the April meeting of the
Anglican Church Women. ' She
based her remarks on the verse
"Did not our hearts burn within
us?"
Mrs. Bradburn spoke of the
women who were the first to find
the empty tomb and be told that
Christ had risen: They then hur-
ried to tell the disciples and two
of the disciplesmet Jesus' on their
way to Emindus.
"Jesus died on the cross to save
men who had ' treated Him so
cruelly," she said. "Take up your
cross and follow me" is the call to
everyone for men see, as in a
mirror, the reflection of God in
our lives."
In closing, she reminded her
listeners of God's promise, "Be of
good cheer, T have overcome the
world."
Mrs. E. Powell, president, was
in charge of the meeting. "The
Lord's My Shepherd" was sung,
followed by prayers led by the
president. Mrs. E. Holmes read
the scripture from the 24th chap-
ter of Luke, verses 27 to 35.

Young . mothers, especially
those who "are expecting their
first child, mar 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
baby. A series of exercises teach-
es relaxation, a vital factor in re•
ducing the discomfort of delivery
and the possibility 'ofomplica-
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-bearing and rais-
ing much more rewarding. The
fathers are by no means com-
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 ofathe
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 problems
which sometimes arise with older
children are discussed, as is the
importance of the "spacing" of
pregnancies ,so that the mother
has the good 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 delivery room
and actually see the birth of their
own children.. However, this per-
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 and 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.
The Wingham- classes will start
on Wednesday, April 17 at 7:30 .
p.m. in the clinic building of the
Wingham and District Hospital,
and will continue on Wednesdays
thereafter. if you are interested
you may go directly to the open-
ing class; or if you want further
information call the Wingham of-
fice of the Health Unit, 357-2264 or
the-Goderich office, which is toll-
free if you dial 1-800-2654485. . -
Another extremely valuable
phase of Huron County's health
services is the pre-school screen-
ing program, under which young-
sters who will enter school -for the
first time in the fall: are checked
by the Health . Unit's nursing ser-
vice. Defects in vision, hearing o
general health are detected in
this way, while there is still time
to take remedial action. If a dis-
ability, is discovered which can-
not be corrected, the school staff
can be alerted. For example, a
child with a hearing or vision
problem would be seated near, the
front of the classroom when
school opens.
Developmental tests determine"
whether a child has ' lacked ' any
particular sort of activities which
would make it difficult for him to
assimilate readily in the pattern
of school life. If this is the case
the summer months will provide
a period in which he can be train-
ed.'
Parents of known school begin-
ners will be contacted by letter to
set up appointments with the
Health Unit staff for a pre-school
clinic at the Howick Central
School on Thursday, May Z from
9:30 to 11:30 and 1:30 to 3:30.
However, if the appointment time
cannot be met or if any parents
have been missed in the mailing,
they are asked to call either of the
two numbers listed above. '
