Pre-natal parenting or 'parent education' classes are very popular. These classes provide invaluable information for parents-to-be. Topics covered generally include, what to expect in labour and options for pain relief, exercises to get your body ready and essentials to help you care for your child, such as feeding and settling. These also give you a chance to meet other prospective parents in your region.

Courses are provided by many maternity hospitals as well as private companies and individuals. Classes can get booked up well in advance, so it is advisable to look around and get your name down as early as possible.

Courses vary widely in content - some providers offering informational seminars for both birthing techniques and parenting, whilst others focus more on birth techniques themselves - some even include exercise sessions. We encourage you to check with your chosen service to clarify course content before booking.
