As experienced midwives, we have recognised there is a need to respond to people’s different approaches to learning and to calls from women for more choice in their pregnancy experience. Furthermore, feeling supported and confident throughout birth is known to lead to better outcomes for mums, partners, and babies.
That’s why we’re trialling a new approach which will give mums-to-be and their partners the chance to undertake a “First Steps” small group session in the relaxing surroundings of the Village Hotel in Headingley.
Not only will you have access to the latest educational programme delivered by highly experienced midwives, you will also get complimentary use of the swimming pool and spa facilities at the Village, free WIFI and a buffet lunch.
In our years as midwives, we’ve seen a great deal of change in maternity care: we now know more than ever how to support the birthing process and early days with baby. The interactive programme brings together all the clinical evidence gathered over decades of research to give parents-to-be the most up to date guidance, advice and support when preparing for the birth of their child.
The session is suitable for women and their partners at any stage of their pregnancy. What’s more, we are offering a £50 discount on all of our January sessions!
We look forward to seeing you at a session soon!
