Midwife-Led Antenatal Classes  
Pre-Birth Courses

Preparing Yourself for Labour and Birth

My Pre- Birth Courses run over three weeks and each session will be two hours long. Classes are fun and friendly whilst extremely informative at the same time.

I will teach you and your partner everything you need to know to help you to have the birth of your choice and prepare for your baby. I have a wealth of experience to share with you.
