“My wife and I signed up for New Life Classes before the birth of our little boy, Edward. Neither of us were quite sure what to expect going in, but after just the first class we realised that we had made the right choice. The classes were very informative and engaging, we particularly enjoyed the ‘hands on’ practical elements.
When the big event arrived we were well prepared, unfortunately the birth did not go as smoothly as we had hoped and we ended up in theatre. However thanks to the classes we knew what to expect and were able to cope with the situation without panicking.
We made good friends with the other people we met on the course and enjoy gong to different activities with our respective babies together. We would definitely recommend the classes to anyone that is expecting. Thanks again Iona and Bonnie.”

It's so important to educate yourself, and understand your rights as you're looked after during your pregnancy, labour, birth and beyond. Whether it's a routine check or a major procedure, YOU decide what happens to your body. 💪💜
In our latest blog, we dive into the importance of informed consent and how healthcare providers must give you clear, unbiased information so you can make the best decisions for yourself and your baby. 📋✨
Key points to remember:
🤝 Your choice matters! Always ask questions and ensure you understand the options.
🚨 You can withdraw consent at any time. It's YOUR body, YOUR baby, YOUR decision.
💕 Even your birth partner can’t make decisions for you, but they can help advocate for your preferences.
👶Post-birth, both parents may share in decisions for your baby, but until then, it’s the pregnant person's choice.
Check out the full post and empower yourself with knowledge. 🔗 [Link in bio]
