These are organised by the midwives. You will be offered parentcraft classes when you attend the hospital ante-natal booking appointment. Usually these classes are held midway through the pregnancy and both you and your partner should attend. The midwives and health visitors running the classes will talk to you about pregnancy and labour and also about looking after your new baby. They will explain what options you have for delivering your baby and what types of pain relief are available. If this is a second or subsequent pregnancy, you will be offered a refresher class. The parentcraft classes are well worth attending; they give you information and confidence. You have an opportunity to meet other mothers and can exchange ideas. If you have particular worries then you can share these with others and discuss them with a midwife.
