Couples Antenatal Class

This complete workshop runs from 10am - 2pm, which will guide mum & birth partner through practical techniques for labour, which includes birthing movement, breathing and massage.

Our antenatal classes aim to empower both you and your birth partner to make confident, informed choices during your pregnancy, labour and birth of your baby.

This workshop would suit both first time couples, and couples wanting to learn from previous experience.

The class is a relaxed learning environment, which will also provide opportunities to meet other parents you may want to stay in touch with. The class takes place on a weekend, and aims to teach you everything you need to know.

The focus of the workshop is the way in which women can use their bodies during labour and birth to make the process as easy and safe as possible. This includes:

* The signs and stages of labour—what to do and when
* Movement and birthing positions for a more confident delivery
* Ways you can prepare for birth during the final few weeks of pregnancy
* Fears, and letting them go
*Different breathing techniques for different stages of labour
* How to relax during labour

Your birth partner will gain a greater insight into how the woman’s body works in labour, and be a lot more effective and confident in the ways they can help and support you.

Your class fee also includes:
* A labour goodie bag—full of useful things for during labour, and immediately afterwards!
* Class support materials
* Ongoing support from Bump, Birth & Beyond - via email or telephone after your session
