Childbearing Society classes support families from the early stages of pregnancy until well into baby’s first year. All of our prenatal packages begin with a Healthy Pregnancy Course (for mums only), that focuses on nutrition, health, and lifestyle considerations for pregnancy.

For the prenatal section, clients can choose between

  • a Weekly Series (once a week, from 7 – 9pm, for seven weeks), or
  • a condensed Weekend Workshop (Saturday and Sunday from 9am – 2pm OR from 3pm – 8pm, plus Monday evening from 7 – 9pm).

After baby arrives, there is

  • a class reunion (date to be determined during your classes)
  • a series of four Postpartum (parent/baby) classes
  • one Breastfeeding Clinic.

This is all included for $240.

We also offer Refresher Courses for second (or third) babies. And all of our extra classes (the Healthy Pregnancy, the Breastfeeding Class etc) can be taken separately. For low income families, please ask us about our special low income rate.
