Antenatal classes for vaginal birth
If you are planning on having a vaginal birth, a VBAC (vaginal birth after a cesarean section), or a HBAC (home birth after c-section) then this will be the course option for you.
This course is suitable for all pregnant ladies regardless of type of birth, special circumstances or number of previous pregnancies. Parents who have found their previous birth traumatic or felt the experience wasn't as positive as it could of been have really found the course useful with changing their next birth experience.
If nearer to your baby's birth you start to consider an induction or a planned (elective) c-section then we can look at the additional courses on offer to ensure you are getting the support you want or need.
