Antenatal classes

We are currently unable to provide face-to-face classes, please speak to your community midwife to find out what is available locally to you.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, all antenatal classes moved to an online platform via Eventbrite. Health visitors, children’s centres and midwives were recorded delivering a session each on a video that was then made available to book on to watch.

To access one of these online classes, please visit Eventbrite.
