Free Antenatal Classes
A free eight-part online antenatal class series to guide you and your birth partner(s) through pregnancy, birth & breastfeeding.
These classes were filmed during Covid-19 lockdown to provide a free resource for parents-to-be. Each class covers different topics to help you and your birth partner(s) prepare for birth and beyond.
I was in my first trimester when filming, so please forgive me if I am at time a little emotional, my thoughts aren’t quite succinct or I look like I may just vomit. I’m sure many of you can relate!
Topics covered include:
- Early labour
- Active labour
- Hormones in labour
- Non-pharmacological pain management techniques
Get started on Classes 2-8 – absolutely free!
Or if you'd like to contribute towards our running costs, please feel free to invest an amount that feels right for you. No pressure, you can pop in $0 and still access them for free if that is what you need.
