New Planning Feature!
Wondering when to register? Ideally, you will want to finish your class 4-6 weeks before your due date. We keep our class sizes small to better serve you. To help you know when to register, we will update the spaces available if 3 or fewer slots remain.
All of our Lamaze childbirth classes have Accessibility Resources to supplement your instruction at home! Get details here or ask your instructor for more information.
Sibling Class Special: Buy one, get one half price! If you and a friend both have a baby on the way, why not have your older siblings take this class together? Register normally, but select "Sibling Friends" for special rate of class fee.
Boot Camp for New Dads
During a 3-hour workshop, "Rookie" dads-to-be talk to "Veteran" new dads (with their babies) about what the first months of fatherhood are really like. (Yes, there's one for moms, too!)
SUPER-DUPER SIBLINGS!
Prepare your first-born for the new family member. They will learn all about babies and get a package in the mail: a baby bid to decorate and a super hero mask and cape. Now they're ready to be a super sibling!

More about Free Intro to Lamaze Sessions
This class will allow you to meet an instructor, see some current parents taking a class, and get a sneak peak at what our classes cover.
Plan on taking an intro session sometime during your second trimester, no matter where you plan to take your actual class.
There is NO registration fee, but to prepare for your arrival, please complete the registration process and you will see confirmation that this is a free event.
Attendance will help you learn more about the benefits of preparing for birth with a Lamaze class and you will receive a GIFT CERTIFICATE for up to $20.00 to apply to ANY future childbirth class with DC Lamaze!
These sessions fill up fast so sign up soon.
