Antenatal Classes
Consider them an investment in preparation for the job ahead! The classes cover common pregnancy issues, labour and birth, and care of a newborn, including breastfeeding, bathing and changing. They also provide a good opportunity to meet couples in your area who are also expecting and postnatally can be of great support. They range from 4-7 weeks and vary from $100-210 for the 4-7 sessions. |
