Antenatal Classes / Childbirth Education

All our classes consist of a 7 week evening course. 

Specific details of the course will be outlined by your Childbirth Educator, but all courses cover information for pregnancy, labour and birth, and early pregnancy. Courses will be tailored to meet the needs of all participants. You are usually about 29-31 weeks when starting this class.

Cat Taylor:

I have been apart of the Parent Centre for nearly 7 yrs now and have held many positions in the time, Secretary, Baby & you co-ordinator, Baby & You facilitator, Music & Movement Facilitator and for the last 3 years President.
I have two children, Ryan is 7 in January and my little girl Reegan has just turned 5 and joined the school system.
My partner owns his Barber shops in Morrinsville and Te Aroha.
I have been hostessing Antenatal classes since I started with Parent Centre and while doing I this I thought I think I can do this, so I applied to do my training. After 2 very long and mentally tough years of training I passed my Diploma in Childbirth Education. I was already being employed with the Morrinsville Centre but as my training came to an end I got calls from Hamilton, Cambridge and Otorohanga. So for the last 2 years I have been teaching at each of these centres throughout the year.
I love meeting new expectant parents and every new group comes with its own dynamics and interesting characters. I have really enjoyed my time helping first time parents to deal with the ups and downs of preparing for the birth of their baby.
