NEXT ACTIVE BIRTH SKILLS WORKSHOP.......MARCH 4

NEXT BREASTFEEDING BASICS WORKSHOP....... APRIL 27

 

Are you looking for ways to make your birth easier? And what about the early days with your new baby?

Birthwaves antenatal classes will help you prepare for this. They are held in the Bayside area of Melbourne, Victoria.

Hospital classes are usually not enough for many people to prepare themselves for birth and life beyond. Birthwaves offers prenatal birthing and early parenting classes both for first time parents and those expecting a subsequent baby. The emphasis is on the steps you and your partner can take to help yourselves.

Private consultations are also available for birth and parenthood preparation or postnatal debriefings and counselling.

The group sessions provide

  • An understanding of active birth techniques and the 'twenty ways to an easier birth'!
  • Relaxed settings in which issues can be explored by women and their partners 
  • Evidence-based information
  • Small group sizes providing support and friendship
  • An opportunity to meet other parents-to-be

 

New Active Birth Skills and Breastfeeding Workshops Scheduled

See "Courses and Services" and "Course Dates" pages for more information on these workshops.

Tip of the month

 
Pregnancy massage benefits........ Studies have shown that regular massage during pregnancy (once or twice a week) can hold significant benefits for mother and baby, particularly if the mother is suffering depression. Rates of antenatal depression are reduced with massage, which carries on postnatally too. The number of premature births and low birthweight babies have also been shown to diminish. So check out your local massage therapist now, always ensuring that they are experienced in treating pregnant women.
