Selkirk Medical Group – Group Prenatal Series

Selkirk Medical Group offers a Group Prenatal Series, free of charge, to all pregnant or newly postpartum women and their partner or support person.  These sessions are currently being offered via Zoom.  The series includes 4 evening sessions, all co-hosted by local maternity care physicians and community-based supports including women’s health physiotherapists, Public Health, doulas and the Community Connections Infant Development Coordinator.

The 4 sessions offered are:

Your Postpartum Body – The most popular session. Topics for this evening will include safe exercise (prenatally and postpartum), sex, pelvic floor therapy and what physical changes and events to expect in the first 6 weeks postpartum. This session will be lead by a local women’s health physiotherapist from Red Cedar Physiotherapy.

Maternal Wellness – It’s not ALL about the baby – mom matters, too! Join in this session to help prepare yourself and your partner for upcoming life changes, develop a self care plan and learn from other mom’s about their strategies for the postpartum period. This session will also review the free community-based resources available in Revelstoke for new parents.

Labour & Delivery – This labour and delivery session will help you feel prepared and empowered. A local doula will attend to discuss comfort in labour and birthing positions. Local physicians will guide you through what to expect at the hospital, pain management options and answer any questions you may have about your labour and delivery.

Breastfeeding & Infant Safety – Don’t miss this information-packed evening covering all things related to infant care. Topics will include breastfeeding, sleep, infant safety and more. Like all of the group prenatal sessions, physicians will be available to answer any questions both during and afterwards.
