FIRST TIMERS
Hello Baby group classes for first time parents are led by midwife Hannah and hypnobirthing practitioner Chloe. These popular courses are interactive, sociable and comprehensive.
As well as a thorough preparation for labour and all types of birth, the practical sessions will provide parents with up to date information and newborn care skills. Informative and evidence-based, you will learn everything you need to help you navigate the first few weeks of life with your new baby.
Weekly evening classes provide a fun and relaxed environment where you will meet a group of local parents-to-be who can share the journey with you.
It is recommended to start the course between 26-32 weeks of pregnancy. You will be advised which course to attend based on your estimated due date. Hello Baby courses are taught in Bushey, near Watford, in Hertfordshire.
