If your baby is due in either May or June 2022 this antenatal class in Bedminster is a great place to meet other new parents expecting their babies at the same time as you. Each class runs with between 5-10 couples, helping you to build a strong social group before your baby arrives.
Our antenatal class programme is taught over seven consecutive Tuesday evenings from 19.00 – 21.00.
- Understanding your 3rd trimester: 1st March
- Early labour & coping strategies: 8th March
- What to expect in established labour: 15th March
- Planning for the unexpected: 22nd March
- Feeding your newborn: 29th March
- Life changes with a baby!: 5th April
- Caring for your newborn: 12th April
- Optional extra: 19th April Baby 1st Aid (£20 per person)
If you can’t make any of these dates, you don’t have to miss out on any content. We have filmed the entire course and these videos are on the digital learning platform for you to access at your leisure. Plus, the midwife teaching your course will be happy to answer any questions that come up.
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 13th August 2022 from 11.00-13.00, 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 you’re 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 are taught by midwives. 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 it’s more personal. Plus, they’re available right up to the reunion with your babies!
Additional benefits
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. Plus, all our classes customers get a 10% discount in our online shop – newlife.style.
