Parent Craft Education Classes

You will be offered Parent craft antenatal classes within NHS, your community midwife will give you details. Unfortunately these classes do get busy and sometimes you are unable to get a place. We offer classes to support this. There are more intense courses offered by our colleague’s see useful websites for more information.


Understanding what is happening to your body in pregnancy and during the birth process will give you the confidence and self-belief to birth your baby naturally. It will assist you and your partner to participate fully with health professionals in choices and decisions that concern you and your baby. Remember this is your pregnancy, your birth and your baby.


Pregnancy and birth experiences are all different. Even when a birth experience differs from hopes and expectations, it can and should still be a positive birth experience because a woman and her partner have been confident that the right decisions have been made at the right time.


Our antenatal sessions will provide you and your partner with the confidence and self-belief you need for labour, birth and parenting. Our approach to antenatal education is based firmly on the belief that you and your partner are the best possible people to make choices and decisions regarding your birth and baby. Our sessions provide you with the knowledge and skills needed to support each other both as the birth of your baby approaches and into the parenting period. Our antenatal sessions aim to be informative, interactive, enjoyable and fun.
