In-Person Antenatal Classes in Hawke’s Bay
Many parents choose our Hawke's Bay Antenatal Classes to learn in person, connect with other expectant parents due around a similar time, and ask questions in a relaxed, supportive environment.
Through practical learning, real conversations, and evidence-informed education, you'll gain the knowledge, confidence, and tools to make informed decisions throughout labour, birth, and the early weeks with your baby.
Choose the learning style that suits you best with either our popular 5-week evening course or our Boutique Weekend class. Both provide the same comprehensive preparation for birth and early parenting, with the only difference being the pace and format.
With more than 21 years of experience and over 5,500 families supported, you can feel confident you're learning from one of New Zealand's most experienced birth educators.
5-Week Antenatal Classes
Our 5-week antenatal classes are perfect for parents who enjoy learning in smaller, manageable sessions. Meeting once a week gives you time to absorb what you've learned, ask questions as they arise, and build your confidence as your pregnancy progresses.
Together we'll explore labour, birth, pain relief options, partner support, newborn care, feeding, postnatal recovery, and the transition into parenthood in a relaxed, interactive environment. It's also a wonderful opportunity to meet other local parents who are at a similar stage of pregnancy.
Boutique Weekend Antenatal Classes
Our Boutique Weekend Antenatal Classes offer the same comprehensive education as our 5-week course, delivered over one relaxed weekend. They're ideal for busy parents, those travelling from outside Hawke's Bay, or anyone who prefers to complete their preparation in a shorter timeframe.
With small class sizes, plenty of opportunities for discussion, and practical activities throughout the weekend, you'll leave feeling informed, confident, and ready for birth and the early weeks with your baby.
