Antenatal Courses for parents expecting twins or more

Penny Price, fully qualified and experienced NCT antenatal teacher and midwife, runs courses in Reading, Berkshire. The courses are aimed at couples expecting two or more babies and deal with all the normal issues, as well as the challenges that more than one baby offers.

Twins Classes

The majority of people attending the courses are couples expecting their first babies but the course will also cater for people who are already parents. Mums may come along by themselves or with their choice of birth partner.

The courses cover:

• Looking after yourself while pregnant and expecting more than one baby;
• How your babies will be born - different scenarios including straightforward vaginal birth;
• Pain relief and how to help yourself in labour;
• Common hospital procedures including caesarean sections;
• Infant feeding, feeding more than one;
• Practical baby care and tips for caring for twins;
• Looking after yourselves after your babies have arrived.

Another benefit of attending these classes is to meet other parents-to-be in the same situation, and to find out about support available locally.
