Preparing for childbirth is an important part of pregnancy care itself. You will have plenty of opportunities to discuss various aspects of this during your consultations either with your obstetrician or midwife. Many women, especially those in their first pregnancy, also prefer to attend Antenatal Classes.

Antenatal classes are designed to educate you about childbirth and the care of your newborn. These sessions also enable you to access support from other mums-to-be that may be experiencing similar concerns. Many women find these classes helpful for social networking and building their confidence as they prepare for motherhood. Your birthing partner may also choose to attend.
