Antenatal Classes - ​Child Birth

Picture
Our Antenatal classes prepare new parents physically and emotionally for the changes during pregnancy and labour.  

New parents who attend our antenatal classes form strong friendships as they go through this exciting new stage in life together. We help to create coffee groups for the new mums to catch up and have a cuppa - and share what's happening with their new baby and them!

Bays North Harbour Parents Centre covers Campbells Bay to Long Bay, Albany, Greenhithe & Unsworth Heights so your group will be filled with local parents.  If you are outside this area, check out our 'About Us' page for details of other local Centres.

We alternate between weeknight and weekend courses during the year. Our weeknight courses are held over 6 weeks (run once a week on a Wednesday evening and an additional Saturday class for the First Aid & Child Safety Session) and our weekend classes are held over 2 full days on a Sunday. 

We recommend that you finish the course approximately one month before your due date. Check out the dates below. 
​

​Our courses are very popular and fill up quickly, so please book early on in your pregnancy to ensure you secure a place.
