We provide free antenatal education between 28 to 36 weeks of your pregnancy: 

  • Preparation for Birth and Beyond course: a 6 hour, interactive online course available on Zoom. Further support is available through WhatsApp. 
  • Antenatal infant feeding session: a standalone 2.5 hour session. 

We will offer you a place depending on your location, due date and course availability.

About the Preparation for Birth and Beyond course

The course aims to prepare you for the birth of your baby and the early days of parenting.

You'll feel more confident about making the right decisions when caring for your new baby and looking after your own health and wellbeing. At the same time, you can meet others going through the same life change and form a support group.
