Parenting can be both exciting and overwhelming, especially for first-time parents or those facing new challenges such as a Caesarean birth. St Vincent's Private Hospital Toowoomba offers comprehensive parenting classes to support you through this important journey. These classes provide valuable knowledge and confidence to help you prepare for your baby's arrival and early care.
These two-day classes cover a wide range of essential topics including vaginal and Caesarean births, pain relief options, induction of labour, newborn characteristics, hospital routines, breastfeeding, safe sleeping practices, and emotional wellbeing. You will also learn about common parenting challenges and community support resources. The classes are inclusive of your partner or support person, ensuring you both feel prepared and supported.
Classes are run monthly by a qualified St Vincent's midwife at the Dorothea Devine Maternity Unit. Each session is designed to be informative and interactive, providing practical advice and answering your questions. The fee for the classes is $300, but if you have BUPA private health insurance, the cost may be covered—please contact Maternity directly to confirm. Only one ticket per family is needed as it includes your partner or support person's attendance.
The classes take place at St Vincent's Private Hospital Toowoomba, located at 22-36 Scott Street, Toowoomba City, QLD 4350. The hospital is easily accessible and provides a welcoming environment for expectant parents. Parking and public transport options are available nearby, making it convenient to attend.
Please note that these classes are suitable for first-time parents, those needing a refresher, or parents experiencing a Caesarean birth for the first time. Booking is essential to secure your place, and you are encouraged to call the maternity unit if you have BUPA insurance to avoid unnecessary payment. The classes are designed to support your emotional wellbeing and prepare you for the realities of parenting.
