Frequently asked questions

What is an Antenatal Programme?

An antenatal programme is a birth preparation course that combines relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, and evidence-based education to help you feel confident, informed, and in control during pregnancy and birth.

How does the Antenatal Programme work?

The programme helps you stay calm and relaxed by activating your body’s natural pain relief – endorphins – while reducing stress hormones. This leads to a more positive and comfortable birth experience.

Who Can Benefit from an Antenatal Programme?

Anyone who is pregnant! Whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, C-section, or are undecided, this course will help you feel more in control, manage any fears, and make informed choices.

When Should I Start an Antenatal Programme?

It’s recommended to start between 20 and 30 weeks of pregnancy, but you can begin at any stage. The earlier you start, the more time you’ll have to practise the techniques.

Can My Partner Attend the Antenatal Classes?

Absolutely! Birth partners are encouraged to join, so they can learn how to support you during labour and birth, helping you both feel more confident and prepared.
