BIRTHDAY PRESENCE MIDWIFERY SERVICES

Both of these workshops are aimed at couples (max of 8) expecting their first baby. They are each stand alone or there's a discount for attending both! Held at weekends. They are practical informative and fun and aim to give information you can't find elsewhere! I am a midwife/antenatal teacher of over 30 years!

There is parking at the church.
Please bring along a pillow and a packed lunch and there will be physical skills for labour so wear appropriate comfy clothing! Everything on the day is optional to take part in, however you will get more out of the day if you participate.
Although you can take notes I will be sending out handouts via email after the course.
There is the option to join a WhatsApp group to keep in touch with each other and for support after.
