Antenatal Course

Couples Antenatal Classes

Becoming a parent is life-changing. It’s wonderful, it’s challenging, it’s messy. It’s also exciting, full of self-sacrifice and is without doubt one of the most rewarding adventures you will ever embark on. There’s so much conflicting advice out there, so whose opinion do you listen to? Our course is everything you’d get at a hospital based course, plus the biblical stuff and more! It is presented by a team including professional midwives and baby clinic nurses, with private and hospital experience. Our aim is to prepare you for your new arrival, enabling you to make the choices that will be best for you and your family, and create opportunity for you to build relationships that will help you through this new chapter.

Course Content

Our sessions cover the Third Trimester of Pregnancy, Birth Plans, Natural Labour & Birth, Caesarean Birth, and both Natural and Pharmacological Pain Control methods.

Breastfeeding, Baby basics, Vaccinations, Budgeting, Post-Natal Depression, Marriage & Sex, and Childbirth in the Bible. We do some myth busting, Practical Demos, and give you additional content on subjects we don’t have time to cover in our sessions.

The Saturday morning includes a valuable refresher session for Grandparents-To-Be (A Zoom link will be provided to those Grandparents that can’t make it in person).
