Antenatal Classes

Our antenatal classes are in Ormskirk.

Generally, the groups are small, up to 8 couples. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. There will be a reunion once everyone has had their babies.

The topics covered include everything you might expect:

Pain relief, Relaxation, Positions, Caesareans, Feeding, Postnatal Life
However, the parents themselves choose the exact content, so you can be sure that what you want to know or discuss will be covered.

The classes are a good way to meet other people expecting at a similar time to yourself and who live near to you. Many people make lifelong friendships through these classes.

To enquire about places, visit www.nct.org.uk/in-your-area/southport where you will be able to find courses and complete an online enquiry form If you have any queries throughout your pregnancy or afterwards, please make contact. We are here to support anyone in the community whether or not they are a member of the NCT.

Our antenatal teachers, breastfeeding counsellors and postnatal leaders undergo a thorough training with the NCT although they are not required to be medically qualified. All teachers, counsellors and leaders are expected to keep up to date with the latest developments in maternity care and must register with us every year. Their role is to offer support, information, practical skills and resources to help parents make informed choices for themselves and their babies. They do not offer medical advice and parents are asked to take any questions about the medical care of mother and baby to their midwife, health visitor or doctor.
