Face-to-Face Antenatal Classes in Hawke’s Bay

Many parents choose antenatal classes in Hawke’s Bay so they can learn in person, connect with others due around a similar time, and ask questions in a relaxed group setting.

Through real conversations, practical learning and supportive discussion, you’ll gain the knowledge and tools to approach labour, birth and the early weeks with your baby feeling calm and prepared.

You can choose between our popular 5-week evening course or the Boutique Weekend class, depending on the pace and learning style that suits you best.

Both the 5-week class and the Boutique Weekend cover the same core preparation — the difference is simply the pace and format.
