As face-to-face antenatal and breastfeeding classes have been suspended indefinitely, due to Covid-19, the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital Trust now run all our antenatal classes online. 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:
Birth with assistance (Ventouse and Forceps)
Caesarean Birth
Recovery (physical and mental health) recovery from all types of birth
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.
