We also set up your coffee group so that you have on-going support and friendship!  Membership to Parents Centre Aotearoa is also included in your registration, this includes various partner discounts including Baby Factory sale days, as well as The Sleep Store, Baby On The Move and Resene discounts.

Antenatal classes follow the Ministry of Health’s recommendations for pregnancy and parenting education, and each class is run by qualified facilitators.

These classes are run over 6 weeks on a Wednesday night from either 6pm to 8pm or 6.30pm to 8.45pm.

Topics covered in the course include:

• labour and birth
• stages of labour
• choices during and after birth
