Antenatal Class Resource List
A list of antenatal resources mentioned in the classes
Throughout the Antenatal Class series, I refer to a lot of epic resources you can access for pregnancy, birth and postpartum. Here’s a list of those resources, and some extras I have added since, to help you find what you need with ease.
- Birth with Confidence by Rhea Dempsey
The Birth Map by Catherine Bell
Beyond The Birth Plan by Rhea Dempsey
WonderWeeks
Probiotics:
Qiara – this is my favourite probiotic for the whole family. I take the pregnancy and breastfeeding one and use the infant and kids for my boys. Mr C+F has the adult one.
Collagen – Maternally Happy is made by a registered midwife in Melbourne 😉 I take it every morning and love it!
Probiotics to reduce your chance of GBS
Research shows the following strains may reduce your risk of GBS:
L. Reuteri RC14 &
L. Rhamnosus GR1
The BioMedica Femex Forte contains both of these and is available on my shop page.
You should start taking them from 32 weeks. If you have a history of thrush, urinary tract infections or BV (bacterial vaginosis) start them at least 28 weeks.
- Spinning Babies (exercises for breech, posterior babies and great Rebozo info)
Want to see what a cervix looks like (looking up a vagina)? Check out the Beautiful Cervix Project
Article on way planned births without medical reason should occur after 39 weeks gestation
- A great read about the safety of homebirth

Tens Machine hire can be done through Mama and I Tens
Seasons Of Mama have awesome Labour and Postpartum Aromatherapy blends, teas and bath salts
For Breastfeeding
Silverette – In the antenatal classes I highly recommend the HydroGel Discs. After having my second babe I discovered Silverette. I instantly fell in love with them and tried the Hydrogel Breast Discs again but didn’t like them in comparison to Silverette. They really are magic! You can also use them for future pregnancies.
