NCT Classes I am one of several practitioners who facilitate NCT antenatal classes in the Benfleet and Southend area and in Jersey. I also facilitate Refresher Courses for those who have already had at least one baby. These courses offer a chance to reflect and build on past birth experiences and prepare yourself to integrate your new baby into your family. Refresher courses are a good way of concentrating on this baby and this pregnancy - something that is often overlooked when there are toddlers and other children to look after.

NCT is the National Childbirth Trust - the UK's largest charity offering support to parents. All courses will have a minimum of three couples and a maximum of eight couples attending.

Course content includes:

  • Place of birth and birth environment
  • Stages of Labour
  • Pain relief
  • Massage, breathing, movement, positions and relaxation
  • Instrumental birth and caesarean birth
  • Role of the birth partner
  • Informed choice/decision-making

From where to give birth to knowing when your contractions are getting underway, NCT antenatal classes are a great way to explore your feelings around having a baby as well as finding answers to your questions about labour, birth, being a very new parent and looking after and feeding your baby.
