Antenatal classes

Maternity: care during pregnancy

Regular antenatal classes

Our weekday, evening and Saturday classes are face-to-face in the antenatal clinic.

Weekday and Saturday classes are 1 session with information about:

  • labour progress and stages
  • coping methods at home and in hospital
  • breastfeeding (baby's needs, colostrum and milk production, benefits, position and attachment)
  • 1st days with your baby

Sets of evening antenatal classes are split into 2 short classes.

Part 1 is about stages of labour and coping methods.

Part 2 is about breastfeeding and 1st days with your baby.

How to book

Some midwifery teams provide their own antenatal classes. Please check with your team before booking a class.

You can book on the Eventbrite website for weekday, evening and Saturday antenatal classes.

We recommend you book a class when you're between 32 and 35 weeks of pregnancy.

Please remember to book a space for your partner too.

We recommend that you open all Eventbrite links in Google Chrome.
