Birth Companions Antenatal
Birth Preparation Class
Being a birth
companion can be a nerve racking time whether your the dad
to be, the soon to be grandmother or just a friend.
Understanding
what to expect from your perspective and how you can
practically help the mum during the birth will empower you,
enabling you to relax into your role as her birth support
and so providing her with more confidence too.
A little
bit of knowledge goes a long way to make this amazing life
event changing event a positive one for both of you.
We hope you
will find this class informative, fun, and practical, whilst
offering you the opportunity to meet other people in the
same position as you and possibly make life long friends!
