Sessions

Weekend classes
 
The lifestyle that many couples lead often does not easily fit in with traditional parent education that is spread over several sessions. At Offsprings we offer a comprehensive programme taking place on a weekend day between
10am - 4pm.

You will benefit from small class sizes, increased midwife to client ratio, time to discuss any concerns with a midwife and the opportunity to formulate a birth plan.

Light refreshments throughout the day will be provided. There will be an hours lunch break, you may wish to bring a packed lunch or visit nearby cafe's or Bistro's. Course materials will also be provided, including  a birth plan template and other interesting leaflets.
