Antenatal Classes
Everyone has questions and fears about the birth
and becoming a parent - antental classes are here to address those
worries. You wouldn't take a driving test without some lessons, so why
not apply the same theory to your pregnancy? We explore your
options...
Antenatal classes are time
well invested, and there is evidence to suggest that women cope better with their labour
if they have attended antenatal classes. Among other things, you learn
about what to expect during labour, birthing skills and tips on how both
parents can cope during labour and afterwards.
About half of all first time mums go to antenatal classes, and there are several
different types of class to choose from. Each type of antenatal class offers something
slightly different, so you should take the time to think about which is the right type of
class for you.
