What does this course cover?
As a mom-to-be, you may find that there are more questions to be answered about pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing than your regular checkups with a midwife could cover.
Designed with you and your birth partner in mind, Babies and Beyond is a series of four weekly workshops we recommend for every new parent-to-be.
Sessions
Our course covers all you and your birth partner need to know before welcoming your little one. Including labour and birth, natural and assisted, Cesarean section and epidural, drugs, complications, postnatal period, baby care and breastfeeding.
This course is split into four weekly sessions:
- Session 1: Overview of labour and birth. Natural ways to cope with labour.
- Session 2: Medical treatments in labour and birth. Epidural, induction, C-section.
- Session 3: Breastfeeding and baby care in the first days at home.
- Session 4: Breastfeeding technique and practical advice. Role of the partner and best support.
