Experience supportive and informative parenting classes designed to prepare you for the exciting journey of labour, birth, and early parenting. These sessions are perfect for first-time parents or those seeking a refresher, offering expert guidance from experienced midwives in a welcoming environment.
The classes cover essential topics such as managing labour and birth, including assisted and emergency caesarean births, induction of labour, and possible complications. For those planning a caesarean birth, a dedicated class focuses on what to expect, newborn characteristics, and maternity ward stay. You will also learn about breastfeeding, safe sleeping guidelines, emotional wellbeing, and community support options.
Choose between a full weekend class or a one-day caesarean birth class. Weekend classes run Saturday 8:15am to 4:00pm and Sunday 8:30am to 3:00pm, while the caesarean class is Saturday only from 8:15am to 4:00pm. It is recommended to book 4-6 weeks before your due date to keep the information fresh. Each ticket includes your partner or support person.
Classes are held at St Vincent's Private Hospital Toowoomba, located at 22-36 Scott St, Toowoomba City QLD 4350. The hospital is easily accessible and provides a comfortable setting for learning and preparation.
If your birth plan changes to a caesarean, contact the Dorothea Devine Maternity Unit reception to switch classes. Check with your health insurer to see if the class cost is covered. Only one ticket per couple is needed, and the classes are designed to support your emotional and practical needs during this important time.
The cost for the parenting classes is $300.00. To book or inquire further, contact the Dorothea Devine Maternity Unit reception at 07 4690 4127. Secure your spot early to ensure you receive the best preparation for your parenting journey.
