Area women are invited to virtually attend “Pregnancy and Delivery 101,” an informal educational event on Thursday, Sept. 24. Go to https://www.facebook.com/crosbycares/ at 4 p.m. to view the presentation.
Obstetrician/Gynecologist Ann Johnson, M.D., of Cuyuna Regional Medical Center will briefly provide tips about the importance of staying fit, getting plenty of rest and eating a healthy diet as ways to help the body cope with the pressures of pregnancy. She’ll also present a go-to guide for labor and delivery, including the best ways to manage labor pain, the three phases of labor and labor procedures. Participants will be able to submit their individual questions via chat and they will be answered by Dr. Johnson and Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner Melissa Goble, a former Labor and Delivery Nurse.
