ANTENATAL CLASSES
Antenatal classes are usually started around 26 -32 weeks of pregnancy, and
covers pregnancy and the actual day of the birth.
I run the Antenatal course on a Saturday from 08h30 to 16h00 once a
month. I choose to keep the classes small and informal, which really helps
new parents feel at ease and open to ask questions and explore this new
world ahead of them.
I am passionate about each and every family who comes through my doors,
and provide support and follow up care after baby is born, if parents need
and want it.
