What is it? 

• A modern and practical 1 day antenatal class in Winchester covering all you need to know to feel better prepared and informed for your birth and the postnatal period. 

• What can you do NOW for a more positive and enjoyable experience your future parent self will thank you for. 

• An opportunity to meet local like-minded parents-to-be (with absolutely no awkward ice-breakers we promise!) 

 

What it’s not... 

• An overwhelming amount of info to take away and read, which eventually ends up in the recycling bin!

• An antenatal class with a hidden agenda - absolutely all choices are welcome.  We hope that you come away knowing your options and making informed decisions that feel right for YOU. 

• Just for mums-to-be. Of course, it is VERY much about you, but this course was designed to include birth partners at the centre of the birthing process. We know how important it is to feel supported by your partner through the marathon effort that is labour and what a difference it makes (one of us is has been a birth partner 3 times 😊)
