Antenatal - January 2019 course
As well as being an experienced Midwife, I am also an enthusiastic Antenatal Class Instructors teaching in the North London area.
Whether you’re having your first baby and you have an endless list of questions - or perhaps you're just new to the area and want to make friends, Antenatal Classes are a great way to meet other couples who are having a baby at the same time as you. Friendship and support throughout the early weeks and months with a new baby will help to make the transition to parenthood a fun and exciting time.
Booking our classes entitles you to a discount on home post-natal care when booking a package of visits from Sage Femme Midwifery.
