At Pregnancy and Beyond ,we believe that informed, confident, and supported parents are key to a healthy and positive pregnancy, birth, and postnatal experience. That’s why we proudly offer antenatal classes—a vital part of preparing for one of life’s most transformative journeys.
Pregnancy and childbirth can be filled with both excitement and uncertainty. Our antenatal classes are designed to equip you with evidence-based information about the physical, emotional, and psychological changes you may experience. We cover essential topics such as:
By understanding what to expect, you can make informed decisions and feel more in control of your birthing experience.
For many parents, especially first-timers, fear of the unknown can lead to anxiety. Antenatal classes help alleviate those fears by offering a supportive environment to ask questions, share concerns, and learn practical skills. Knowing how to manage pain, recognize labor signs, and navigate hospital procedures helps reduce stress and promote a calmer, more confident approach to birth.
Birth partners play a crucial role during labour and delivery. Our classes include them every step of the way—helping them understand how to support the birthing person, advocate for their wishes, and be emotionally prepared for the journey ahead. We offer tips on massage techniques, breathing exercises, and how to be a calming presence during labour.
Our antenatal classes go beyond labour and birth. We also cover topics like nutrition in pregnancy, exercise and movement, mental health, breastfeeding, and early bonding with your baby. These sessions promote healthy lifestyles and help you feel well-prepared for both birth and the weeks that follow.
Antenatal classes are a great way to connect with other expectant parents who are at a similar stage. Sharing experiences and forming friendships can provide a sense of reassurance and belonging, which is especially valuable during a time of change. Many of our participants stay in touch long after their babies are born, forming lasting support networks.
Welcoming a new born brings joy—and challenges. We prepare you for what comes after birth, including:
We help ensure that you’re not just ready for the birth, but also for the realities of early parenthood.
Whether you’re a first-time parent or looking for a refresher, our antenatal classes are open, inclusive, and welcoming. Led by experienced midwives, educators, and health professionals, our sessions are practical, evidence-based, and tailored to your needs.
Invest in your peace of mind, your baby’s health, and a positive birth experience—join our antenatal classes today.
