Wimbledon and Wandsworth NCT Antenatal Couples Courses are designed to facilitate and discuss most all aspects of labour, birth and the early days of caring for a newborn. Classes are interactive and discussion based (as opposed to lecture style) to incorporate you and your partners existing knowledge and experiences.Topics usually include:
- The Structure of Labour (the stages)
- Strategies for dealing with contractions (incl both natural and pharmacological pain mgmt)
- The physicality of normal labour (mum and baby positions, pelvic floor, breathing)
- Adapting the the birth environment
- Highlighting the role of the birth partner
- Relaxation techniques (incl massage)
- Assisted deliveries and caesarean births
- Care for the mum during pregnancy, labour and after the birth
- Preparing, feeding and caring for life with your new baby
Teachers also endeavour to include topics and hospital information relevant to the local area or in the press.
Our over-riding goal at the NCT is to improve the experience of labour, birth and the early days of a newborn for all parents. We endeavour to make classes the start of that improvement.
