Welcome to St Vincent's Private Hospital Toowoomba Parenting Classes, designed to support new and expecting parents through the exciting journey of labour, birth, and early parenting. These classes provide valuable knowledge and confidence for first-time parents as well as those seeking a refresher.
Our experienced midwives lead small group sessions that cover a wide range of topics including managing labour and birth, induction, possible complications, and emergency procedures. We offer a full weekend class for labour and birth preparation and a separate one-day class focused on caesarean birth and early parenting.
- Labour, birth and early parenting weekend class: Saturday 08:15 to 16:00 and Sunday 08:30 to 15:00
- Caesarean birth and early parenting class: Saturday 08:15 to 16:00
Topics include newborn characteristics, maternity ward stay, breastfeeding, safe sleeping, emotional wellbeing, sleep and settling, and community support options.
Classes take place 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.
We recommend booking your class 4-6 weeks before your due date to ensure the information is fresh. Only one ticket per couple is needed as your partner or support person is included. If your birth plan changes to a caesarean, please contact the maternity unit to switch classes.
The cost for the classes is $300. Please check with your health insurer to see if this is covered under your policy. To book or for more information, contact the Dorothea Devine Maternity Unit Reception at 07 4690 4127.
