Education

We have adapted the most hands-on of our practical workshop to the virtual environment to prepare you for the first six weeks of your baby’s life.

We invite couples to do this class late in pregnancy (after 34 weeks) to ensure all aspects are front of mind when baby arrives. The class covers all the basics: nappies, cord care, bathing, dressing, swaddling and feeding and reviews the decisions you make in the transition to parenting.

My Midwives clients will get the hands on aspects of newborn care whilst our guests may also gain further insight and clarity around the decisions you need to make in the first hours and weeks.

Our experienced educators will take around 2 hours (depending on group size) and have significant time to cover questions and answers.

Our virtual Antenatal Class is focused on your birth and is designed to be taken anywhere from 28 to 34 weeks of pregnancy.

This class focus on the many aspects that make up labour and birth, including activities to ensure you and your partner are well prepared. We cover more fully labour progress and self help measures with a workbook which accompanies the classes to guide you through the session.

With this session My Midwives clients progress in their practice and preparation for birth and enables our guests to gain a fuller understanding of what they will experience in labour and birth.

Our virtual class finishes with a couple returning soon after the birth of their baby to talk through the reality of the birth journey.

The reality of this class being online means that session lengths will vary and breaks will be advised on request of the group. It is envisaged that participants will need to free themselves up from 9-12 and from 1-3 to fully participate.

This group session is targeted at you and your strategies in early mothering and is for mums around 4 to 6 weeks after birth.

We discuss how you are transitioning to parenting, any complex issues that may have arisen and look for strategies to resolve or alleviate them. Our discussion may include feeding and settling issues along with strategies to assist your perinatal mental wellbeing. Generally this session lasts around 2 hours and is facilitated by an experienced midwife and mum.

Learn about the magic that is breastmilk and get important tips about feeding during those early weeks. This class is designed to be taken anywhere from 32 - 38 weeks of pregnancy by couples and their support people. The class is run by My Midwives Lactation Consultants, who have years of experience working with breastfeeding women. Their combination of warmth, experience, and practical wisdom makes this class an absolute favourite. All pregnant women and partners are welcome.

Stay strong, calm and centred during your pregnancy, get labour-ready and do it all from the comfort of your own home.

Join pre and post natal expert Liana Quach to be your guide for the best advice, exercises and knowledge to keep you fit, healthy and relaxed.
