Caring for your baby 

Which people and services are there for you 

As part of the Giving Birth theme you will receive information on positions, pain relief and pushing. The course, as well as preparing you for the arrival of your baby, will also aim to guide you through the transition and challenges of becoming a new mum or dad. Information about feeding your baby is integrated into the different themes of our Essentials Courses.

The cost for you to attend the full course is £70*, which can be paid in instalments. If your birth partner attends too the cost for you both to attend the full course is £120*.

NCT Signature antenatal courses run in Leamington Spa, Warwick and Kenilworth regularly. Course formats and prices vary* - every NCT signature antenatal course is as individual as you are. That's because every course is tailored to the needs of the small group taking part. All NCT signature antenatal practitioners are fully licensed and experienced in preparing you - both physically and emotianally - for the arrival of your beautiful baby. More than half of your course will cover the birth of your baby.

There's plenty of time to explore your questions, hopes and anxieties in a safe and supportive space, plus you will also discover what your baby needs to help them thrive.
