Expecting a baby is an exciting time, but can be confusing with all the information that is available. Being able to talk through your concerns and ask questions with other prospective parents really do help. Finding out what is likely to happen during the birth and in the weeks afterwards will help your confidence and assist you in making decisions that are right for you. The Antenatal classes run by the NCT are designed with these things in mind.  We are the largest and best-known Charity of our kind in Europe. 

What do classes cover? Each course is flexible and tailored to the class’s individual needs, and we aim to cover many aspects of pregnancy, labour, birth and early parenting.  These include: 

• Pregnancy and birth choices,
• Parenting choice
• Choosing where to have your baby
• Body awareness, relaxation, breathing and massage
• Home births and water births
• What happens in labour and how the baby is born
• Pain relief, natural and medical methods of pain relief are covered
• Your labour and the role of the partner in labour
• What complications might happen - caesarean births for example
• Looking after and feeding your new born baby
• Early parenting, lifestyle change.

  Our classes are designed for couples, but many people attend on their own or with a friend, relative or birth partner.  Who runs the classes? The classes are run by our Specialist Workers; these are Antenatal Teachers, Breastfeeding Counsellors and Postnatal Leaders.   They all undergo thorough training with the NCT and they are not required to be medically qualified.  All Specialist Workers must keep up to date with the latest developments in maternity care and have to register with us every year.  Their role is to offer support, information, practical skills and resources to help parents to make informed choices for themselves and their babies. They do not offer medical advice and parents are asked to take any questions about the medical care of mother and baby to their midwife, health visitor or doctor.These courses are designed for those expecting their first child and both you and your partner are encouraged to attend as many classes as possible. It would be a good idea to come to the course in comfortable clothes in order to take full advantage of the relaxation and breathing exercises.
