All NowBaby Live Antenatal classes are hosted live by midwives and are totally interactive!

Are all your NHS hospital courses fully booked? Can’t get childcare? Hospital class times not appropriate? Travel or parking issues? Husband or partner cant make it due to work constraints? If the answer is yes to any of these questions the NowBaby Live antenatal classes might just be what you are looking for.

There is some evidence that antenatal education improves outcomes and mothers’ experiences of birth and parenthood. According to the NHS & Department of Health’s  Preparation for Birth and Beyond 2011 resource, many parents want help with the transition to parenthood. It is quite normal for new mothers and fathers to be keen on accessing consistent information relating to pregnancy, birth and parenting. Parents want information that is relevant to each stage of the journey, and to have the opportunity to reflect on what it means for them and their lives.

NowBaby Live aims to provide parents with consistent evidence based information and choices relating to pregnancy, birth and parenting. We achieve this by setting out a course curriculum that is based on NICE guidelines and the midwives delivering the classes also adhere to their own code of practice set out by the Nursing and midwifery council (NMC)
