Our antenatal sessions aim to provide you and your partner with the confidence and self-belief you need for labour, birth and parenting.
The classes aim to be informative, interactive, enjoyable and fun, they are arranged for smaller groups with a maximum of 10 couples.
Our Classes are taught by qualified experienced midwives that work within the hospital and community setting. They will offer you information, support and advice based from their experiences using evidence based and regulated research.
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.
It will assist you and your partner to participate fully with health professionals in choices and decisions that concern you 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 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.
If you need to cancel your class please do so at least 14 days prior to course start date, we will refund your money less a small £10 cancellation charge to cover admin costs.
