Returning Family Beginnings mothers can call (937) 208-4597(937) 208-4597 To speak directly to a Family Beginnings nurse about re-enrollment and requirements. Expectant mothers who are 34 or more weeks of gestation also may call to discuss late enrollment options. You must register for Family Beginnings Birth Center Refresher Course.
For Second Or Higher Children
If you're expecting your second (or higher) child and have not had a previous birth at our Family Beginnings Birth Center, you will still need to enroll in the program and attend our orientation class, as well as the prenatal appointment.
