Digital course access
You will also receive access to a digital teaching platform with materials to download for class, a digital version of the course and extra reading links on the topics covered in each session. Value Β£80.
Class reunion
We love meeting up with you to hear your birth stories, meet your babies and enjoy a relaxed social time with the group. Your course leader will organise a venue that suits the group, usually a local pub or cafe that has plenty of space for buggies.
The course reunion will take place on Saturday 12th October 2024, giving you time to settle into family life!
Your birth partner
Your ticket includes a place for your partner. As we think both of you should ideally attend the classes together. We have a lot of content for partners (mums and dads) and birth partners as they play such an important role! If youβre a single parent, we recommend you bring a friend or relative to the class. Or you might like to mix and match, thinking about who will be supporting you in labour and the early postnatal period.
Midwife-led classes
New Life classes areΒ taught by midwives.Β They are a fantastic resource to have at your fingertips! We encourage all our couples to ask them any questions whether in class, or between sessions via the private WhatsApp group or by email if itβs more personal. Plus, theyβre available right up to the reunion with your babies!
