Birth center tours and classes

You’re pregnant and probably have many questions: What are the early signs of labor? How often should I feed my newborn? Do babies sleep on their stomachs or backs? And whether this is your first baby or your fourth, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed by conflicting advice from well-meaning family members, neighbors and friends.

The maternity experts at Terre Haute Regional Hospital in Indiana help you learn to trust your instincts and feel confident in becoming a parent. Our prenatal classes and birth center tours offer families up-to-date information and advice about pregnancy, childbirth and parenthood.

Take a hospital tour

Familiarize yourself with our birth center before you go into labor. During our guided tour, you will learn where to check-in on the big day, see our labor and delivery unit up close, peek in the well-baby nursery and have an opportunity to ask questions about your hospital stay.

Group tours are given at the end of our childbirth preparation classes. However, you may also schedule your own personal tour by calling (812) 237-1275.
