Life With Your Newborn Antenatal Course

Antenatal Classes to Prepare for When Baby Comes Home

Beyond Birth: Antenatal Classes to Prepare You for Life with Baby

Most antenatal classes focus on labour, but we focus on what comes next.


Led by experienced Baby Nurse Kay Whitby, this warm and practical workshop is designed to help you and your support person feel truly prepared for those early days and weeks with your newborn at home. Whether you're a first-time parent or just looking for a refresher, you'll walk away with clarity, confidence, and a cup of tea in hand!


This class is about helping you feel ready, supported, and excited to welcome your little one home. Come with questions, leave with peace of mind.


Come along and meet other Brisbane parents who are also expecting. Pregnancy and the early afterbirth are times when you can make lasting connections with other families.


Sessions will be tailored to each group to ensure they address all the little questions you may have. We help you find the baby support you need and build your confidence as you prepare for a new baby.


If you know someone who is pregnant, why not consider this class as the perfect gift to help them feel supported?
