About the event
Why choose us to provide your antenatal & postnatal education? Good question!
what sets us apart from other providers, especially very well known & popular organisations, is that we are current registered midwives.
Did you know a lot of providers of classes aren't?
Being registered midwives means:
* We are up to date on all current evidence & use research based infomation in our classes
* We are fully aware of the current issues in maternity services
* We are both parents ourselves so have our own personal experience
* We know how the services run so can teach you & advise you using first hand experience
* We know the pathways and policies and can help you navigate them
* We don't just focus on normal low risk vaginal deliveries, we cover high risk as well including caesareans
* We can help direct you to the right professionals if you want to birth or make a plan outside of the policies
As well as that, we are down to earth & funny (if we do say ourselves!) and love to teach and empower you!
