Why choose The Parent Antenatal Course?
If you are looking for an alternative to the NHS and NCT courses out there, then this is the course for you! As an experienced doula, antenatal teacher and breastfeeding peer supporter (plus a mum of 3) for more than a decade, I have had the privilege of supporting 1000's of parents as they navigate this amazing journey into parenthood.
Using all the knowledge and experience I have gained over the years, I have created this truly comprehensive antenatal course, which covers everything you need to know to feel confident and prepared for birth and the early weeks of being a new parent.
How many weeks pregnant should I be when I start?
You are welcome to join whenever you feel ready. Most parents join around 26 weeks, but some join much closer to their due date. I would recommend ensuring you have finished the course by around 38 weeks.
What does your investment include?
The course price is for the birthing person plus their birth partner but you are very welcome to attend on your own. If you feel you don’t need the full course, then The Parent Course can also be booked by each session.
How do I book my place?
Courses start every 6 weeks throughout the year, so hopefully there should be one that fits with your due dates. If you would like to discuss which course may be best for you, please do get in touch.
Once you've selected your course, you only need to pay a £50 deposit to secure your place, which is then deducted from the final balance which is due 4 weeks before the course start date. Your investment is as follows:
Full 6-week course (6 x 2.5 hour sessions) - £270
Birth Preparation Only (3 x 2.5 hour sessions) – £150
Infant Feeding Only (1 x 2.5 hour session) – £50
Newborn Care Only (2x 2.5 hour sessions) – £100
