Antenatal Courses
Our first-time parent course has been running for over 28 years and we are honoured to have worked with over 3,000 expecting Wellington families since 1992.
These 7-week classes provide everything you need to know about birth, babies and becoming parents, while connecting you with other parents-to-be. They include two course reunions.
Presented in conjunction with Domino midwives and natural health practitioners, the weekly classes include:
holistic preparation for birth
keeping birth normal
birthing with support
life with a newborn
breastfeeding
becoming parents
sharing parenting experiences
For many, the most rewarding part of our course is making connections and forming support groups with other parents in your class. Two reunions offer the chance for you to meet and introduce your new whānau whilst sharing your experiences together.
Included:
2 x course reunions
Welcome Pack (chock full of top local and NZ baby brands, goodies and special offers)
$25 one-year membership fee (provides access to our library resources and coffee mornings)
Cost: $225
Places are limited to 13 couples.
