Forest City First Aid

Do you know how CPR is different for pregnant women? 🤰❤️

A lot of people think it’s completely different, but for a lay rescuer, most of it stays the same.

✅ Chest compressions stay the same
✅ AED use stays the same
✅ The main difference: if the person is obviously pregnant, place something soft under the right hip to create a small tilt while keeping them mostly flat for effective CPR

And one of the biggest things to remember?
If you want to save the baby, you have to save the mother first.

At Forest City First Aid, we teach first aid in a way that’s practical, easy to remember, and built for real-life emergencies.

If you’re in Ontario and looking for first aid and CPR training that actually prepares you to act with confidence, come train with us.

We just upgraded our CPR training 👀

At Forest City First Aid, we’ve added a female CPR manikin to our classes, and this is actually a bigger deal than most people realize.

Studies have shown that in public cardiac arrests, women are less likely to receive bystander CPR than men. A commonly cited American Heart Association summary notes that 45% of men received bystander CPR in public, compared with only 39% of women.

Why? A lot of it comes down to hesitation. People are scared of doing it wrong, feel awkward, or worry about touching a woman’s chest in an emergency.

That’s exactly why we invested in this.

We want our students to build real confidence, practice more realistically, and leave class feeling prepared to help anyone when it matters most.

We’re always investing back into our equipment and training tools because you deserve more than the bare minimum. You deserve the best learning experience possible.

Train better.
Feel more confident.
Be ready.
