Antenatal Classes

In the first of our classes, we discuss the importance of looking after yourself in the final stages of pregnancy and how to prioritise yourself and baby. We explore preparation for labour and birth, including: Fetal positioning — helping baby get into the optimal position for birth Pelvic health — exercises and techniques to support your body Perineal massage — reducing the risk of tearing Colostrum harvesting — antenatal expression for early feeding Your hospital bag — what you actually need The role of your birth partner — how they can support you Writing your birth preferences — creating a plan that works for you Signs that your baby's birth may be imminent — knowing when labour is starting This class will be tailored to your planned birth, including caesarean and home births.

Every birthing journey will look and feel different from one person to the next, even one baby to the next. This class talks you through the physiology of labour and birth , to help you understand the journey your baby makes and how you can help yourself and baby through this process. We can discuss some of the decisions you may wish to make, such as: The positions you'd like to be in — active birth and movement The way you might like to birth your placenta — physiological or managed third stage What to expect when baby is born — skin-to-skin, delayed cord clamping, and first moments We can explore how you can empower and advocate for yourself, and how your partner can do this for you if needed.

Definitely one of our most important classes! Preparation for birth is often one of the things that people prioritise, but preparing for the early days as you adjust to new family life is imperative. We can't give you a "how to" manual, but we can talk you through what to expect and how to prepare. In this class, we also talk about the things you can do to help take care of yourselves and your baby/babies. We will discuss any fears you may have, both practical and emotional. Planning how you can support each other, and understanding the new dynamics of your household, can be really important in getting through the first weeks and long into the future.

A gentle introduction to baby first aid. Our calm, practical session is designed to help you feel more prepared for those moments no parent ever wants—but every parent should feel ready for. In just one hour, we'll gently guide you through the essentials of baby first aid, including what to do if your baby is choking , not breathing , or unwell . There's no pressure, no assessment, and no clinical jargon—just clear, supportive guidance to help you stay calm and know what to do when it matters most. This isn't a formal course or a qualification. It's a space to build confidence, ask questions, and leave feeling a little more steady in your own instincts as a parent.
