Experience comprehensive 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 looking for a refresher, offering expert guidance from experienced midwives in a supportive 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 provides detailed information on what to expect. You will also learn about newborn characteristics, maternity ward procedures, breastfeeding, safe sleeping, and emotional wellbeing.
Choose between a full weekend class or a one-day caesarean birth class. Weekend classes run Saturday from 08:15 to 16:00 and Sunday from 08:30 to 15:00, while caesarean classes are held on Saturdays from 08:15 to 16:00. Classes include your partner or support person at no extra cost. Booking is recommended 4-6 weeks before your due date to keep information fresh.
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. Parking and public transport options are available nearby.
Please book only one ticket per couple as it includes your partner or support person. 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 under your policy.
