<p><strong>Take these everyday steps to avoid getting the flu:</strong></p>
<p>• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.<br />
• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. You can also use an alcohol-based hand cleaner.<br />
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.<br />
• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.<br />
• Stay home if you are sick until at least 24 hours after you no longer have a fever (100°F or 37.8°C) or signs of a fever (without the use of a fever-reducing medicine, such as Tylenol®).<br />
• While sick, limit contact with others as much as possible to keep from infecting them.</p>]]></description><guid>http://www.mankatoclinic.com/flu-shot-at-the-mankato-clinic</guid></item><item><title>2012 OB Childbirth Education Classes</title><link>http://www.mankatoclinic.com/2012-ob-childbirth-education-classes</link><pubDate>Tue, 13 Sep 2011 05:00:00 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Ceceli Polzin</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[<p>If you are having a child for the first time, it is easy to feel overwhelmed by questions, fears, and just not knowing what to expect. Many new parents find that childbirth education classes can really help calm their worries and answer many questions.</p>
<p>Our classes cover all kinds of issues surrounding childbirth including breathing techniques, pain management, vaginal birth, and cesarean birth. They can help prepare you for many aspects of childbirth: for the changes that pregnancy brings, for labor and delivery, and for parenting once your baby is born. Mankato Clinic Childbirth Educators are highly trained and knowledgeable and have proven to be a reliable resource for expectant parents.</p>
<p>Typically, new parents take birthing classes during the third trimester of the pregnancy, when the mother is about 7 months pregnant. Each "Prepared Childbirth" class is four sessions- one session per week. You do not need to be a Mankato Clinic patient to participate in these classes.</p>
<p>Benefits of Taking a Childbirth Class<br />
At our childbirth class you will be provided with a great forum to ask lots of questions and you will learn more about topics such as:</p>
<p>•how your baby is developing<br />
•healthy developments in your pregnancy<br />
•warning signs that something is wrong<br />
•how to make your pregnancy, labor, and delivery more comfortable<br />
•breathing and relaxation techniques<br />
•how to write a birth plan<br />
•how to tell when you are in labor<br />
•pain relief options during labor<br />
•what to expect during labor and delivery<br />
•the role of the coach or labor partner<br />
Many of our classes also address what to expect after the baby is born, including breastfeeding, infant care, and dealing with the emotional changes of new parenthood.</p>
