This 18 hour couples course will educate you fully on all aspects of pregnancy, birth and early parenting. We will empower you to make the best choices for you and your baby.
Every course is different as our teachers work with the group to personalise the course according to their needs, however we would normally expect the following topics to be included in every course:
- pain management, including relaxation and breathing techniques, massage, positions for labour and birth as well as using water as pain relief during labour and birth
- the physical processes of birth
- Pain relief
- The process of planned and unplanned caesarean sections
- Partners role
- the technological help hospitals have to offer
- optimum foetal positioning
- Explore ways of making the experience of birth more positive and comfortable
- aspects of breastfeeding
- Baby care (bathing, changing nappies, feeding, sleeping etc.)
- making informed decisions
- Share the feelings and dilemmas of approaching parenthood.
As part of the course there will be a 2 hour session, led by a trained breastfeeding counsellor, which will cover all aspects of breastfeeding as well as a 2 hour reunion after all the babies are born.
The classes provide an environment where couples can share the feelings and dilemmas of approaching parenthood and explore ways of making their birth experience more positive. As a result couples feel more prepared for the birth of their baby and approach the postnatal period with increased confidence.
All classes include refreshments!
Our teachers role is to offer support, information, practical skills and resources to help parents make informed choices for themselves and their baby/babies.
The teachers also provide a friendly, relaxed atmosphere and a lot of classes have kindled excellent friendships, which have proved invaluable over many, many years.
This support network is invaluable in the early months of parenting and we find many groups are still meeting years after their babies were born.
All courses are 18 hours long plus a reunion once the babies are born; some classes meeting weekly, others are weekend workshops. We arrange for the group to continue to meet once the course has finished.
On this course there is more time to build lasting friendships with likeminded couples who share the same journey.
Cost; £198.00
