Welcome! We are glad you are here!
The information taught in both the in person and online classes is the same. The rewards earned for in person and online classes are also the same. The choice to come to an in person class or watch an online video is up to you. Some people may choose to come to some classes in person and do others online. We created both versions of the classes to make it as easy as possible for you to learn the information you need to know.
Many women appreciate having a space to meet and talk with other women who are going through the same experiences they are. Learning about the pregnancy and new parent journey with a group of women walking the same path as you are can be empowering and uplifting, and support you through the life changes pregnancy brings.
In person classes are taught at the E. Blair Warner Clinic in the Michiana Community Education Center just to the left of the main check-in desk on the first floor. The address is:
E. Blair Warner Family Medicine Center
714 North Michigan Street
South Bend, IN 46601
Both in person and online classes are completely free. In fact, pregnant women who currently receive their prenatal care at E. Blair Warner will earn rewards for completing prenatal classes including babe coupons and gift cards for groceries and gas.
In person classes at E. Blair Warner are taught by doctors who work at the clinic, including current resident physicians, OB Fellows, and supervising physicians. You may be surprised to see your own doctor teaching one of the classes!
Online classes are videos prerecorded by the clinic staff at E. Blair Warner. These staff members include doctors, medical assistants, nurses, social workers, and patient financial advocates who contributed to this project so that our patients can be empowered to make informed decisions for themselves and their babies. All of the educational content was developed with and approved by the doctors at E. Blair Warner and contains the same information that is taught in the in person classes.
We understand that life can be very busy and it can be hard to make it to in person classes. That is why we made the online videos. You can choose to do all in person classes, only online classes, or a combination of both. Whatever works for you! You will earn the same rewards for both the in person classes and online videos.
Current pregnant patients who are getting their OB care at E. Blair Warner can earn the following rewards:
In-Person Prenatal Classes: One Babe Coupon and One $10 Gift card for each in-person class (Up to 5 babe coupons and $50 in gift cards)
Online Prenatal Classes: One babe coupon and one $10 gift card for every two videos/quizzes completed (Up to 5 babe coupons and $50 in gift cards)
Car Seat Drawing: In December, all patients who finished at least 8 of the 10 prenatal topics (in person or online) will be entered in a drawing to win a car seat for their new baby. One winner will be chosen on December 30, 2024.
Current E. Blair Warner prenatal patients can pick up their rewards in one of the two ways:
In Person: Patients will receive their rewards at the end of each prenatal class after they finish the online quizzes on the topics learned that day.
On Line: Rewards for completing your classes will be available at the front desk of the clinic starting the day after each in person class (see the calendar of upcoming classes). Patients will need to bring a photo ID and sign a form showing receipt of the rewards when they are picked up.
Patients can give permission for someone else to pick up their rewards by sending a signed and dated letter with the name of the person who will be picking up their reward. The person picking up the reward will need to show their photo ID and sign the pickup form showing when they picked up the rewards.
We do not currently offer group prenatal visits. Our prenatal classes are only educational. While the classes are taught by our doctors and we want you to ask as many questions as you feel comfortable, the doctors teaching the class will not be giving any medical care during the class meetings.
We want all of our patients to have the opportunity to attend prenatal classes if they want to. If you have trouble with transportation or using the internet, call the clinic and leave a message for the OB Coordinator (574.647.7477). She can help you gain off-line access to the prenatal education videos to earn the same rewards.
All pregnant women and their families are invited to watch the free online prenatal education videos. Due to space limitations, in person classes are only offered to pregnant patients currently receiving prenatal care at E. Blair Warner.
The prenatal education incentive program is funded through a small, one year grant from the St. Joseph County Health Department. At this time, only patients who are currently getting their prenatal care at E. Blair Warner can earn the incentives.
