Prepare for the exciting journey of parenthood with St Vincent's Private Hospital Toowoomba's expert-led parenting classes. Designed for first-time parents and those needing a refresher, these classes provide essential knowledge and confidence for labour, birth, and early parenting stages.
These small group classes are conducted by experienced midwives who guide you through managing labour, birth options including assisted and emergency caesarean births, and early parenting skills. Whether you choose the full weekend course or the caesarean-specific class, you will gain practical insights and emotional support.
- Full weekend class: Saturday 08:15 to 16:00 and Sunday 08:30 to 15:00
- Caesarean birth class: Saturday 08:15 to 16:00
Topics include labour management, induction, possible complications, newborn care, breastfeeding, safe sleeping, emotional wellbeing, and community supports. Booking about 4-6 weeks before your due date is recommended to keep information fresh.
Classes are held at 22-36 Scott St, Toowoomba City QLD 4350, within St Vincent's Private Hospital. The venue is accessible and welcoming, providing a comfortable environment for learning and support.
Only one ticket per couple is needed as partners/support persons attend free. If your birth plan changes to a caesarean, contact the Dorothea Devine Maternity Unit reception to switch classes. Check with your health insurer about coverage for the class fees.
The cost is $300 per class, covering both parents/support persons. Booking is essential due to limited spots in small group settings. Contact the hospital reception for bookings and inquiries.
