What can we offer?
During Pregnancy — NCT Antenatal Courses
So much information is thrown at you once
you’re pregnant that it can be really hard to decide what suits you. NCT antenatal teachers
are trained to help parents work out how they
want to approach labour and birth, rather than
tell them the ‘right’ way.
Our courses are very practical, with lots of opportunities to practice positions for labour and
breathing, as well as parenting skills. We also
make sure that we provide lots of emotional
support for this major life change, both from
the teacher and from the other parents-to-be in
the class.
All of our classes are led by fully qualified
teachers, with a Diploma in Higher Education:
Antenatal Education. The course aims to:
Provide honest, up-to-date, unbiased information
Help you to make your own choice about
labour and birth
Discuss pain relief options, medical interventions and your birth partner’s role
Cover baby care for the early days and
lifestyle changes after the birth to give you
all the confidence you need
Provide great group support
Courses are in small groups and last up to 8
weeks. You can attend with your birth partner, a friend or on your own.
RELAXED AND FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE.
New classes start every 8 weeks.
If you’ve had a baby before we also run
REFRESHER COURSES.
Weekend or evening classes available.
Can’t commit to a full course? We also
do ONE-TO-ONE and LABOUR DAYS.
You can book any course from 12 weeks of
pregnancy
