Expecting baby number 2 this spring? Antenatal Class for Second-Time Parents - Sun 26th Feb


Recommended Posts

If you are expecting your second (or subsequent) baby this spring or summer, we have spaces for you to join our February Refresher Antenatal Course.


The 4 hour intensive course runs Sunday 26th February from 09:30am - 1:30pm at the French House, 52 Lordship lane.


The session is led by practising midwives, one a mum of two young children, so is designed to offer lots of useful information for both pregnant women and their partners. The content includes:


- A recap on labour phases and options, practical coping skills for labour

- Help deciding where to have your baby

- Practical ways in which partners can be supportive, help labour progress and feel confident during the birth

- Breast and bottle feeding a newborn baby, troubleshooting common breastfeeding issues

- Preparing your older child for being a big brother or sister

- Introducing your older child to the new baby

- Getting organised for your new arrival

- Practical tips on coping with two: getting around, what to do with your older child whilst feeding the new baby, ideas for partners to help during and cope with the postnatal period, using slings and carriers.


The course is open to up to 4 or 5 couples and offers valuable protected time for you and your partner to plan together for the birth and the new addition to your family. Total cost is ?150 per couple (partner or birth partner/friend/relative welcome) and includes break-time coffee and pastries, plus lots of valuable materials to take away with you and follow-up email support from us too.


Previous attendees have said:


" Invaluable. A great confidence builder and reassured us of lots of things we had forgotten. Especially useful was the info about integrating first born with the new baby and how to do that and little tips of things to do to involve them."


"It was brilliant, gave us time together, that we had just not had in talking about the second child and gave us confidence too."


"Realistic, non judgemental and honest - given from midwife experience, but also as a parent too"

    • Well sure someone will correct me but years ago, in Singapore and I was quite young so not sure if it is true. but if you were caught stealing, your little finger or just the  tip part with nail was chopped off.  Stigma for  life as all know that was punishment for stealing… no questions asked.Totally agree it is barbaric but equally putting people  into overcrowded prison for minor offences is also not right. Tagging I guess would not work or maybe does… no idea at all.  Not so long ago, heard a talk about how European’s cope/deal with prisoners and how the suggest rate is higher and offences lowered greatly as in not going back to prison for same  or another offence.  The general gist was their approach was each prisoner mattered , was heard and listens to and a suitable package was tailored towards their needs. Not  b one package for all. Not cooped up for the majority of the day - encouraged as an example to cook, garden, grow food, other household stuff  plus study if wanted for courses, languages etc. and mental health, dependency on substance abuse also addressed. Can’t remember if they were paid c pocket money which clearly accumulated or could be used to  I purchase whatever in prison. If they can do it by experimenting and I think but not sure, at the time an English prison was learning why can’t this sort of program be rolled  out throughout UK - cut backs not an excuse - think of the millions lost by govt during Covid…  Maybe it is - no experience in the matter at all.   
    • Why have things got so complicated? I suppose a cat flap with a timer might be useful for people out all day but can't really see the point of them when its so easy to flip a simple mechanical lock. This is how my last cat flap operated but had to be replaced when cat wearing cone of shame tried to escape and broke it. The cat flap I have now is one of those linked to cats microchip but even then there is just a four way dial which allows different kinds of access - or not. Not that cat is bothered, refuses to use it and demands i open the door for her. This is bit of a rant because along with a new boiler I got a new electronic programmer which is really annoying as it takes 5 minutes to change a simple temperature whereas with old programmer it took 10 seconds. Hope you get sorted @oglander and enjoy your future servitude to your feline master.
    • Did you have the same covid jab as you have had over the years?
