“I was very skeptical about doing a private antenatal course but doing the New Life course has been such a great experience for me and my partner and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. It is full of useful, evidence-based information which is presented in a fun and non-judgmental way – I feel prepared for the end of my pregnancy/birth/having a baby without feeling pressured or scared.
It’s great that the courses are run by working midwives, who can give such useful firsthand knowledge and no question is ever too silly! The online resources are great and I’m sure will come in useful in the future. It’s been lovely to meet other people in the same situation and have that social connection going forward.” Lizzie, Bishopston antenatal class

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]
