The stretch from pregnancy through the first year is the busiest research project most parents ever do. This guide gathers the Las Vegas options for each stage, so you can jump straight to what you need next.
Before the baby: prenatal and childbirth
Get ready for the birth with two overlapping [tracks](/las-vegas/track). [Prenatal classes](/las-vegas/guide/prenatal-classes) cover pregnancy, and hospital [childbirth education](/las-vegas/guide/childbirth-education), including the Birthplace series at [Summerlin](/las-vegas/summerlin), Spring Valley, and MountainView hospitals, walks you through labor, delivery, and newborn basics. Register early in the third trimester, since these fill before due-date waves.Birth and early-weeks support
A [doula](/las-vegas/guide/doula-services) gives trained, non-medical support through labor and the first weeks at home. Las Vegas has several offering birth and postpartum packages, so interview two or three in your second trimester to find the right fit.Feeding help
If nursing is hard, help is close and often free. A [lactation consultant](/las-vegas/guide/lactation-consulting) can turn a painful first week around, and hospital breastfeeding groups and La Leche League cost nothing. Reach out in the first two weeks, when most feeding problems are the most fixable.After the baby: getting out of the house
Once you are ready, [mommy and me classes](/las-vegas/guide/mommy-and-me-classes) give you and your baby somewhere to go, from play and [music](/las-vegas/music) to parent-and-baby swim. Any caregiver counts, and many studios let you try a class before you commit.Frequently Asked Questions
