Becoming a parent, particularly for the first time, is an emotional experience. It is a very important time for both mum and dad-to-be but expectant dads sometimes feel left out of pregnancy and not involved in the birth.
“For me the course was a lifeline. Previously I wasn’t sure even which questions to ask or where to look for a RELIABLE and informed answer.”
“The discussions of the birth, of baby blues, of crying and of our ongoing relationship was particular helpful.”
“I went to 3 pre-natal courses: the NHS one, an NCT one and this one – and found this course the best of the three. I would definitely recommend it to any dads-to-be in the area.”
Next Course Date:
Wednesday 17th June – 7 – 8.30pm &
Saturday 20th June – 10am – 4pm

We operate our antenatal sessions on a donation payment system because the Pregnancy and Parents Centre is a not-for-profit charity. The suggested donation is £50 for the course as this covers all our running costs and associated expenditure. However, all our classes have concessionary rates and this is the same for the donation system as we never turn anyone due to financial constraint. Please contact us about this if you need to know more.
