Postnatal Socials

for further friendships and support

Postnatal Socials

Not only do we love getting together with expectant parents, but we also love getting together with new parents and newborn babies!

All our antenatal courses include a postnatal social where we bring together parents from a number of different courses. It gives you the perfect opportunity to get together again with the people who were on your course as well as meet others who attended parallel courses.

We both thought the course was fantastic – we came away feeling totally informed and ready to face birth and parenthood. Your teaching style was relaxed and friendly, yet knowledgeable and supportive. We liked the way the classes were interactive and hands on rather than lecture style and the handouts have been helpful as a recap.

Elliot was rather dubious before attending, but after the first class he came away feeling more relaxed and knowledgeable. I think like a lot of first time dads, he was burying his head in the sand about the birth bit, thinking he had no role to play, but you soon changed his mind about that!

The friendship and support that you can provide to each other and benefit from is immense. It’s quite emotional when we bring everybody together and observe a sympathetic hug or overhear reassuring words of encouragement.

One or two of the About Birth and Babies team will also be on hand to coo over your newborn baby and provide any additional support you need with things like breastfeeding or the transition to parenthood now you’re in it!

We hope you will continue to meet regularly with the parents on your antenatal course and with others you meet at this new parent event. Our postnatal socials happen about once a month usually at the Roundwood Function and Conference Centre. Be sure to secure your space!

  Me and my partner were so pleased we booked onto this class, we learnt SO much!! It was reassuring and nice to be with other parents to be who had the same worries and questions. Sian was a brilliant teacher with so much experience and knowledge to pass on, she made us feel so much more prepared and excited for our new arrival😊 Would highly recommend this course to all.

  Extremely knowledgeable, Sian guides you through the birthing experience, and care of your baby in a friendly and informative way. Plenty of opportunities to discuss things as a group, ask questions and review topics if needed. I particularly enjoyed the practical elements.

  100% recommend for any parents who have plenty of questions and want to be as prepared as possible.

We both learnt a lot about pain management options during labour as well as the important roll your birthing partner plays. My husband definitely felt more confident and prepared about what was to come and so did I.

Met some lovely people who were due around the same time as us. So glad we  made the decision to attend these antenatal classes.

  Just finished the Full Antenatal Class with Sian. Found it so helpful and learnt loads about pregnancy, labour and baby care. Sian is excellent and incredibly knowledgeable. Was a great chance to meet other parents too. Would recommend this class to any new parent as we are feeling so much more prepared and confident now!
