Working together.
Antenatal classes for couples are an excellent way of preparing you and your birth partner for the birth of your baby. They allow you to access advice and information from a trained professional as well as making friends with other parents to be. Classes are informal and provide a positive and fun atmosphere for parents to ask questions, meet people and learn different techniques and methods that will ultimately make pregnancy and the arrival of the baby easier and less stressful.
Pregnancy comes with a lot of confusion and many questions. Am I doing this right? Should I be doing more of this? What happens if? How will my partner cope in the birthing environment? How can my birth partner support? Antenatal classes are designed to answer all of your questions and queries, share with you all the evidence to allow you to make informed choices, to approach birth as a team, to help parents relax and feel confident about bringing baby into the world. This workshops and courses will be as supportive and helpful as possible in order to make the whole pregnancy, birth and baby process easier for you as parents.
Here at Mama Blossom you can pick the antenatal education that works for you.
Pick and mix with our one day workshops or do complete antenatal courses that run on a weekly basis.
All are small, friendly group sizes (up to 5 couples) where you can meet other local couples in our relaxing Mama Blossom Studio in Stenson, Derby (DE73 7HL)
