Antenatal Ireland Group Courses are fun and informative. We pride ourselves in supporting you to make informed decisions for birth and parenting. We take a maximum of eight couples on our courses. This ensures that you get the time and attention to have all your questions answered. All our educators facilitate through the principals of adult education. Classes are interactive with lots of time for questions and for practicing skills needed for labour and early parenthood. Every course is tailored to the individual needs of the group.
Some of the topics covered include:
- Informed decision making
- Positions for Labour & Birth
- Stages of labour
- Role of hormones and how to get them flowing
- Comfort measures
- Role of the partner
- Pain relief (natural & pharmacological)
- Induction, Assisted Birth, Caesarean Birth
- Breastfeeding
- Early parenting
Courses come in various formats to suit your needs.
