Our Antenatal classes prepare new parents physically and emotionally for the changes during pregnancy and labour.
Our courses are either held over 7 weeks (run once a week on a Monday or Tuesday evening). We hold classes regularly throughout the year. Topics covered in the course include:
• Signs of labour • The labour process • The role of the support person • Pain management • Infant feeding
Also included in the course is a Practical Parenting session (bathing baby, clothes to buy, different nappies, parent panel for questions and answers) and a tour of North Shore Hospital.
Our courses are very popular and fill up quickly, so please enquire early on in your pregnancy to ensure you secure a place.

New parents who attend our antenatal classes form strong friendships as they go through this exciting new stage in life together. We help to set up coffee groups for the new mums to catch up and have a cuppa - and share what's happening with their new baby! And for the dads - the obligatory beer groups!
Our Antenatal classes are held at 1 The Strand, Training Room 1. This is above Takapuna Plunket Rooms next to Takapuna Library.
