We are pleased to offer antenatal classes with Maria Machin beginning in June. The first block of classes will run over 3, 2 hour sessions, specifically on June 22, 23, and 24 from 6-8pm. We will look at the following:

Session 1: We will look at how our bodies change during pregnancy and how we can support the process. We talk about language in pregnancy and how it effects us. We look at ways we can stay well in pregnancy and alternative therapies that are available to us, and we will learn relaxation techniques that we can use not just throughout our pregnancy and birth, but skills for life. 

Session 2: We will be looking at how we birth and all the different options available to us and the role of a partner/doula. We will also be learning about our rights as mothers and getting to understand the terminology and terms you may hear throughout your birthing process.

Session 3: we look at where we birth, and how our choice of birth place effects our choice on aids for birth. We then look at what happens after birth, the golden hour, vitamin K,  and we will also learn breastfeeding techniques.
