Antenatal Classes & Postnatal Classes
Hello everyone
For those of you looking for some additional support during your pregnancy or once your little one arrives, it’s useful to have a trusted list that you can check at a glance. Here are some of the people that I know personally and recommend in my classes.
As usual, please check all of these before leaving the house. Here’s a useful guide to what’s on locally to help you through your pregnancy, birth and after. Also a chance to meet other mums-to-be or for new parents. Grow your support network and your friendship circle too.
Plus some extra useful links at the bottom of the page for local hospitals, birth and family photographers and even plastic-free partys. I have also included other people that frequently come up in conversation. I highly recommend all of these people and have met them through my 7+ years of supporting expectant and new family’s.
