Antenatal Classes for Your Pregnancy
Our face-to-face antenatal classes will provide parents a clearer understanding of pregnancy and baby care. We will help prepare you by teaching you about all the things you need to know to not just survive through your pregnancy and parenting journey but to thrive! We understand this can be an exciting and at times challenging time for parents and so have created a set of fun, evidence- based classes packed full of tips and tricks so you will be well prepared for your journey.
We will endeavour to answer all questions and who better to ask than the experts! Our antenatal classes are run by Endorsed Midwives and Lactation Consultants, all experts in their field.
We will work around you! We can provide antenatal classes in person or virtually. We offer both group and individual sessions.
Only fancy completing a few of our classes? We have a package option for most of our antenatal classes- please enquire for further details.
