During the past year, 3,206 babies were born at Huntington Memorial Hospital of Pasadena, almost doubling the hospital’s yearly birth rate of a decade ago. With the growth, the hospital has introduced a childbirth education program to help women with the physical and emotional adjustments of motherhood. Mommy and Me, as one class is called, meets two hours a week to instruct mothers in postpartum exercises for themselves and in how to exercise and massage their babies. “It gives mom a chance to get to know her baby, and the two a chance to learn about each other,” a hospital spokesman said.
