Antenatal Classes Leeds, Harrogate & York

Why Are Antenatal Classes Important?

Preparing for your baby’s arrival isn’t just about packing the hospital bag—it’s about feeling confident, informed, and supported every step of the way. Our 1-to-1 antenatal classes in Leeds, Harrogate and York give you and your partner the knowledge and practical skills you need, delivered in the comfort of your own home.

Unlike larger group sessions, these private antenatal courses are tailored entirely to you. You’ll get the same essential content, but in less time and with space to ask every question—without worrying about other couples.

Labour and Birth Preparation

Learn what to expect during the different stages of labour, from the first signs to delivery. We’ll cover:

• Pain management options (from natural coping techniques to medical support)

• Positions and breathing strategies for labour and birth

• What happens if things don’t go to plan (inductions, assisted delivery, C-sections)

The goal is to give you realistic expectations while building your confidence for the big day.

Breastfeeding and Newborn Care

Caring for a newborn can feel daunting, but our private antenatal classes prepare you for the reality of those first few weeks. You’ll learn about:

• Feeding options, including breastfeeding and bottle-feeding

• Safe ways to soothe, settle and bond with your baby

• Bathing, changing and safe sleep guidance

This helps you feel ready for hands-on parenting from day one.

Postnatal Health and Wellbeing

Your journey doesn’t end with birth—it’s just beginning. We’ll talk through:

• Post-birth recovery, including physical changes and what’s normal

• Mental health and emotional wellbeing, with tips on recognising when to seek support

• Building a support network for those early months of parenting

Our 1-to-1 antenatal courses aren’t just for mums—they’re for both parents, or for lone parents preparing independently. We’ll explore:

• How partners can support during labour, birth and beyond
