Our classes provide you with skills and strategies to increase your confidence during your pregnancy, labour and birth.
Childbirth education can increase your confidence about what to expect during pregnancy, labour, birth, breastfeeding and the early weeks following the birth of your baby.
It can also help you to make informed choices about the care you receive during pregnancy, labour, birth and the early pregnancy period.
Childbirth education is available for all pregnant women (and their partner or support person) who have booked to give birth at the Women’s.
