Expecting baby number 2 in the New Year? Half price refresher antenatal class Sat 17th December

[TheGroupAntenatal]

The Group (www.thegroupantenatal.co.uk) are changing the format of their refresher courses, designed for parents expecting their second (or subsequent) baby.

We are trialing our new format on Saturday 17th December 12.30-16-30 and offering this at half price (?75). We have just one or two spaces left for this date and would love to welcome you to join us!

Please email [email protected] if you would like to take part and start preparing your older child and getting organised for your little one's arrival.

The course will remind you about what happens during labour and birth, with an emphasis on what might be different second time around. The course will give you and your partner an opportunity to plan for the birth and postnatal period together and to think through how you will prepare and care for your older child at this time. It covers feeding (breast and bottle), expressing breastmilk and basic newborn care, all with an emphasis on how you might balance the baby?s needs with those of your older child(ren) and yourselves.

Classes are run by practising midwife Rachel. Her first-hand experience in caring for families, as well as being a mum to two young children, means she can offer honest, evidence-based advice to help prepare families for life with more than one child.

Subsequent courses will run from 9.30am ? 1:30pm one Sunday per month at the French House at 52 Lordship Lane (find us downstairs) and cost ?150 per couple. This includes:

-Attendance for two adults

-All course planning materials and a ?Refresher? handbook

-A coffee and freshly baked French pastry during the break

-A 10% discount at the French House on the day and thereafter
