IMPORTANT: IF YOU BOOK INTO A SESSION, PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU AGREE TO "FOLLOW" THE PARENTCRAFT CO-ORDINATOR, AS THIS WILL ENSURE THAT FOLLOW-UP EMAILS DO NOT GET LOST IN YOUR JUNK MAIL. THE MS TEAMS LINK WILL BE VISIBLE ON THE EVENT PAGE ONCE YOU HAVED BOOKED, BUT CHANGES WITH EACH NEW COURSE, SO PLEASE ONLY ACCESS THE LINK ON THE MORNING OF THE CALL. IF YOU CANNOT SEE IT, PLEASE CONTACT CHELWEST.BIRTH.PREPARATION@NHS.NET. THESE CLASSES ARE FOR COUPLES HAVING THEIR BABY AT EITHER CHELSEA & WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL OR WEST MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL.
Most of the antenatal classes run by the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital Trust now run online (although the Breastfeeding Workshop and the Early Days Workshop may be available as in-person sessions as well). We have also put together a series of videos and some other online resources, which are available to view via this link to our website page:

The course for first-time parents consists of 5 online MS Teams sessions, which will concentrate on different topics. The Class you are booking here will cover:
Hormones of Labour
What to bring to the hospital
Physical coping skills (massage, breathing techniques, relaxation and hypnobirthing, active birth positions, use of water)
Please note that these sessions are for antenatal education Q&A only, not for medical queries, which should be discussed with your midwife or doctor.
