The 2 night Antenatal / Parenting Course
Practical Parent runs two night residential antenatal / parenting courses over a luxury weekend break. Day one focuses on preparing for and giving birth and the sessions are facilitated by midwives, paediatric nurses and nursery nurses. Topics covered will include:
- Having a baby – fact vs fiction!!
- Birth Planning
- Labour – Early Onset
- Recognising when you’re in labour
- Pain relief
- Caesarean Sections and Assisted Deliveries
- Relaxation And Breathing
- Partner Input
The second day is free for focussing on what comes next, life with your new baby! The feeling of bringing home a newborn baby is exhilarating and thrilling whilst also being terrifying and exhausting! We aim to give you all the practical information you need to make your experience a positive and informed one! Topics covered include everything from feeding, changing and bathing to sleeping and recognising when something is wrong.
Your learning will be facilitated trough a variety of teaching methods, including practical hands on sessions and discussion groups. However we guarantee there will be no embarrassing role-play!!
Each couple will receive a course manual, a notebook for use during sessions and a complimentary copy of the world’s best-selling baby books, ‘Babies!’ by Dr Christopher Green.
