Description
Sometimes group antenatal classes aren’t right for people, so I also offer bespoke antenatal education in private sessions tailored to your specific needs.
Whether this is your first pregnancy or not, I can create an antenatal package for you that covers the areas you’re most interested in. Whatever you want to learn, it’ll be evidence-based and delivered in an informal, relaxed way.
If you’re not sure what you want to learn and would like a chat first please get in touch. Here are some suggestions:
- Hypnobirthing
- Help to understand the maternity system
- What the different stages of labour are
- What your place of birth options are
- Breathing techniques
- The role of hormones during birth, and how you can help them
- Non-pharmacological pain relief
- Pharmacological pain relief
- Interventions that may be offered to you
- Caesarean birth
- Birth positions
- Big babies
- Placenta and cord options
- The ‘golden hour’ after birth
- How your birth partner can support you at different stages of birth
- Infant feeding and normal feeding behaviour
- Rebozo
- Aromatherapy in childbirth
The classes are suitable from approximately 14 weeks of pregnancy although most people find them most useful in the third trimester, and are just as useful for parents-to-be who already have children as they are first-time parents. Whatever your birth choices are or will be, they will be supported in the judgement-free environment. The course is for birthing parents and their birth partners.
