Sign up to our virtual antenatal classes to prepare for the arrival of your new baby. These antenatal classes are recommended from 28 weeks gestation. (Please note these classes are running online and do not require you to attend the hospital)

The online classes will be run by our midwives who will discuss breastfeeding in the early days.

Due to limited spaces, we respectfully ask that only pregnant people who are receiving antenatal care by our community midwives or booked to have their baby with Northumbria Healthcare Trust book onto the sessions. We encourage partners and any other family members to join in too – whoever may be supporting you when your baby is born.

The link to join the session will be emailed to you on the morning of the class. Please check your junk / spam folder if you are unable to find the email in your inbox.

Please note, we advise all audio to be turned off throughout the class to support the reduction of background noise, you can also turn your camera off if you prefer not to be seen. Zoom allows the opportunity to type a chat question during the session and there will be a midwife available throughout to answer questions as they arise. We hope we can make this zoom class as informative as possible, by having the chat questions throughout and you will have the opportunity to talk at the end of session with the midwives and other expectant pregnant people. Please Note: Only one booking per family is needed even if multiple people are attending.
