Empowered Antenatal Course

Activity Description

In person evening antenatal courses for couples, suitable to attend anytime in pregnancy, but probably of most value after 26 weeks. It is a good idea to aim to finish your course by at least week 36, as this gives you time to keep practising the skills in the weeks prior to the birth, and also ensures you finish the course before your due window (weeks 37-42) starts. 
The Empowered Antenatal Course looks in depth at what can help and hinder a labour, exploring both the physicality of labour (how the body works, and what we can do to enable the baby to move smoothly through the pelvis) and the physiology of labour (what influences the process, such as hormones, emotions, the people in the room, your subconscious, and much more). We unpick how fear in or of labour can cause the process to stall or feel unmanageable, and learn ways to replace that fear with confidence and self-belief.
The Empowered Antenatal Course utilises the KG Hypnobirthing method to learn the skills necessary to help both mum and baby enjoy a positive birth experience.
