Prepare for your parenting journey with expert-led classes designed to support first-time parents and those seeking a refresher. These small group sessions cover labour, birth, and early parenting, including special classes for caesarean births.
Our midwives guide you through the entire process, from managing labour and birth to navigating early parenting challenges. You will learn about induction, possible complications, newborn care, breastfeeding, safe sleeping, and emotional wellbeing. Classes are tailored to your birth plan, whether vaginal or caesarean.
Choose from a full weekend class or a one-day caesarean-specific session. Weekend classes run Saturday 8:15 to 16:00 and Sunday 8:30 to 15:00, while caesarean classes are held Saturdays 8:15 to 16:00. We recommend booking 4-6 weeks before your due date to keep information fresh.
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 environment for learning and support.
Only one ticket per family is needed, which includes your partner or support person. If your birth plan changes to a caesarean, please contact the Dorothea Devine Maternity Unit to switch classes. Check with your health insurer to see if the class cost is covered.
The cost for the classes is $300. Booking is essential due to limited small group sizes. Contact the hospital reception at 07 4690 4127 for bookings or inquiries.
