Cuidiú Dublin North East Antenatal Class

Cuidiú Dublin North East branch is delighted to be able to offer a very interactive antenatal workshop to local parents in the Dublin North East region. This workshop is subsidised in part by the National Lottery and will be hosted by Sarah McCann; Cuidiú Antenatal Ireland Teacher and Midwife.

This class will help you to prepare for birth and early parenting. In order to optimise your learning, I keep my groups small (maximum 8 couples) and I use adult learning techniques. I also like to tailor my classes to your needs so all questions are welcome.

Topics / Areas covered:

1. Preparing your body for labour and birth.
2. The signs of labour and how labour 'works'.
3. When to go into hospital.
4. Role of the partner.
5. Managing your contractions - the medication, breathing, relaxation etc.
6. Interventions which may take place (including caesarean section).
7. Care of you and your baby after birth (including breastfeeding).

All attendees will receive an annual membership to Cuidiú.
