Class details 

Our four-week programme is designed to help you understand your options, make informed decisions and feel prepared for birth, life with a newborn and the fact that things don't always go to plan. Each class combines evidence-based information with practical activities, discussion and plenty of opportunity to ask questions.

We also create dedicated space during the course for pregnant people and birth partners to talk separately. Each group has time with James to discuss the things they may not feel as comfortable raising together, with key themes brought back to the whole group the following week.

And because antenatal classes aren't just about what you learn, we want you to leave with your own Parenting Posse too. We encourage each group to arrange a meal together before the final class and keep the following week free for a social, helping those new connections continue beyond the course.
