Free Antenatal Sessions Funded by Torridge County Council

Join us for two evenings full of Birth Preparation and Baby Care information. We will have refreshments and time to meet other parents-to-be. A WhatsApp group will also be established for the group to keep in touch.

Session 1            6.30 pm - 9 pm

Group work on fears about birth, and what you want for your birth. We will go into what things actually are dispelling any dangerous assumptions and encouraging the concept of being adaptable at the time as birth is not linear. 

We will then stop for a break with a hot drink and refreshments allowing time for the group to chat and reflect and ask any questions.

Then our guest speaker Julia the parish Nurse will lead an information session on baby care- From bathing to reflexes. She will cover baby cues and suggestions on responding to certain situations

We finish with questions.
 

Session 2             6.30 pm - 9 pm

Together we look into how birth works, understanding the stages of labour and how it might feel. 

We stop for a break, refreshments and questions, a chance for birth teams to connect and support. 

Then Guest speaker Julia will then give information about Baby developmental milestones, how a baby communicates and how to communicate back. We then speak about the postnatal period and what to look out for and who to go to if you need support.

After the session, there will be an opportunity for a meeting of other new parents and a free momento footprint and feedback session once you have had your baby. You will be contacted when one becomes available.
