Antenatal Classes
Our antenatal workshops are interactive opportunities to equip couples with knowledge on pregnancy, labour and birth. We believe in a teamwork approach and we have guest speakers teaching parents on their specific fields.
We believe in learning by doing, so you'll receive a baby-doll to practice with as you learn. You'll be practicing how to hold, bath, swaddle, burp and breastfeed your baby. See the list of topics covered below.
