Courses are run from our own rooms with plenty of opportunities for getting to know other class members.
Our classes are facilitated by members of our Centre who are qualified Childbirth Educators and have a passion for providing up-to-date information to expectant parents to prepare them in their new role. These classes are a great place to meet others in the same situation and make lifelong friends.
Antenatal courses are held on both weeknights and weekends. Choose from:
Wednesday nights from 6.30pm to 9pm, for 6 weeks
Sundays for 2x sessions from 10am to 4.30pm
Hybrid evening/weekend sessions on Tuesdays 6.30pm to 9pm x2 and Sundays 1.30-5.30pm x2 (4 sessions over 2 weeks)
Spaces fill up quickly and we recommend that you plan to complete your course by the time you are around 36 weeks if possible, so don’t delay! If the courses are full you can join the waitlists, we will do our best to accommodate you.
