Coronavirus update

Dear all:

Face-to-face Antenatal Classes are temporarily cancelled due to the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. We are now running online Antenatal Classes, till further notice. Once you have booked, you'll receive an email about one week before the event, and another one on the same week, with information on how to join (PLEASE, ALSO CHECK YOUR SPAM FOLDER).

You can still book classes here, as it is unknown when will they be re initiated and it is the best way to contact you back offering Skype Video classes and keeping you informed.

In the meantime, please have a look at these links which they have plenty of videos with information on Labour, Breastfeeding and Responding Parenting.

Dear parents:

You can book here free antenatal classes for women under St. Thomas maternity care, to attend between 32 to 36 weeks gestation. Evening classes split in Part 1 (labour and labour coping methods) and Part 2 (breastfeeding and life with a new baby), and they need to be booked separately. You may bring a birth supporter with you, but please BOOK A TICKET FOR YOUR PARTNER TOO.

Please, when booking, ensure you put your HOSPITAL NUMBER after your surname (eg. Smith 1234567A). Bring your notes to the class as you will need to present these at check in, to ensure you are booked at St. Thomas hospital. Some of our Midwifery Teams (eg. Tower, Chesnut..)  provide their own antenatal classes, so, please, check with them before booking here. Also, if you decide to take private classes, there is no need to double book here, and you'll free spaces for those who cannot affor them.

Many Thanks.

Antenatal Education Team.
