Working together.  

Antenatal classes for couples are an excellent way of preparing you and your birth partner for the birth of your baby. They allow you to access advice and information from a trained professional as well as making friends with other parents to be. Classes are informal and provide a positive and fun atmosphere for parents to ask questions, meet people and learn different techniques and methods that will ultimately make pregnancy and the arrival of the baby easier and less stressful. 

Pregnancy comes with a lot of confusion and many questions. Am I doing this right? Should I be doing more of this? What happens if? How will my partner cope in the birthing environment?
