These antenatal classes are run mainly on a weekday evening. The sessions are fun, enjoyable and interactive. Click here to read what previous parents have said about our courses. This course provides education on pregnancy, labour, birth and early parenthood. There is time to build friendships and create a long lasting support network. Harps and Randip will arrange for the group to meet up after the course has ended and all the babies have arrived. Refreshments are included.
This course was formerly known as “8 week antenatal”, due to changes in the way the sessions are now delivered we have renamed the course. |
