OUR ANTE NATAL

Our philosophy is to prepare parents-to-be with evidence based information and time-tested practical tips to assist our parents in their journey to be parents. The classes are very comprehensive as we believe, to be properly prepared; the parents should have information from pregnancy, preparation for parenthood, to child birth, breast feeding and care of both baby and mother after delivery. They can then make informed choices based on these information and tips.

 

With the jungle of information available, we understand the daunting tasks new parents encounter when trying to navigate through all these information. Therefore, the course is divided into 2 sessions.

 

The sessions are designed to encourage participation and sharing. Slides, whiteboard, videos and practical work are included to ensure the desired learning outcome

Classes available:

• Small Group Class
• Private Class

Frequently asked Questions for Ante Natal Classes

 

When is the best time to start the classes?

It is advisable to start the classes when you are in your 30 – 32 weeks of gestation. Ideally we aim to finish the classes about 4 weeks before your estimated due date.

Can husband attend the classes as well? Are there additional charges for spouse?

Husbands are very welcome to the classes. In fact, one of the topics is preparing husbands to enable them to assist their spouse in labour and delivery. As parenting requires team work, we firmly believe in preparing the team members.

The fee is for per couple.

What language is the course conducted in.? I am unsure if I will be able to follow the medical terms used during the class. Besides, my spoken command of English is not very strong.

The classes are conducted in English. We try our very best not to include too many medical terminology during the classes. Most of the participants have not have issues with the simple, every day English that we use. Besides, the parenting specialists are also able to speak in Bahasa Malaysia and Chinese. 

If you are more comfortable, we can also arrange for private classes

What type of clothing should I wear for the classes?

 

Comfortable clothing, preferable trousers as there will be exercises involved.

 

 What if my husband cannot make it for the class? Can I attend alone?

Of Course! Although it would be lovely to have your husband to attend together with you for all the sessions, but if he is unavailable, you can attend on your own and update him later.
