Expecting another baby?

Courses include mothers planning birth by caesarean, VBAC, and straightforward birth in hospital, birth centre or at home. For dates and bookings visit our course finder.

NCT Mother & Baby Yoga is a wonderful opportunity for you to ease your way back into exercise after the birth of your baby. Each class comprises gentle yoga-based exercises for both you and your baby to do together. Music features highly throughout the class, creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere.

Becoming a parent is a life-changing event. It often involves many highs and lows as you get to know your baby and adjust to a new way of life. There is no one right way to parent, and babies thrive in many different environments. How you parent your child will depend on you, your circumstances and, of course, your baby’s individual personality.

NCT’s Early Days postnatal courses, for mothers with babies up to 6 months old, provide a friendly environment to explore what works best for you and your baby as you begin your new life together.
