Antenatal Classes at Old Chapel

Nestled in the peaceful surroundings of the Old Chapel on Gretton Road in Gotherington, Cheltenham, our centre specialises in providing a range of services designed to support expectant parents throughout their journey to parenthood. Our approach combines expert-led education with compassionate support to cover all aspects of pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenting. This comprehensive offering ensures that each family we work with is well-prepared, confident, and equipped for the challenges and joys of becoming new parents.

Antenatal Classes
Our antenatal classes are a cornerstone of our services, designed to prepare expectant parents for the birth of their child with confidence and knowledge. Led by experienced healthcare professionals, these classes not only address the physical aspects of childbirth but also focus on the emotional and psychological preparation necessary for a positive birthing experience.

Program Highlights:

Understanding Pregnancy: A detailed exploration of the physiological and hormonal changes during pregnancy, understanding trimesters, and recognizing signs of labor.
Labour and Delivery: Techniques to manage pain, various stages of labour, and the roles of healthcare professionals during childbirth. We also explore different birthing environments and the use of birthing aids.
Breathing and Relaxation Techniques: Focused sessions on how to effectively use breathing and relaxation techniques to manage discomfort and stress during labour.
Nutrition and Exercise: Guidance on maintaining a healthy diet and staying active during pregnancy, tailored to suit individual fitness levels and medical needs.
Early Postnatal Support
Transitioning to life with a newborn can be daunting. Our early postnatal support classes are designed to help new parents navigate the initial weeks after birth, providing them with the skills and knowledge to care for their infant effectively.
