Antenatal Classes In Durban

We always say in our Antenatals, that if we can prepare you properly for the first few weeks of taking baby home, we have done our job. Understandably, most moms often can’t think much past how baby is going to come out! However, many times we hear new moms and dads express that they wished that someone had helped to prepare them for what they were in for during the first few weeks.

Thrive Antenatal Classes provides you with all the support and care that you need in preparing for this most exciting, precious journey of your lives.

In the sessions, we prepare you properly for Naturals, Caesars and Dad’s very important role as ‘project manager’. On top of that, we love to add to that layer with preparation for those early whirlwind weeks, as well as preparing your heart for parenting. Thrive has a very intentional parenting focus, as we like to help you dream about how we are going to raise these little people who have been entrusted to us. We do a parent personality quiz in the course and have fun guessing what types of little people we are going to produce. It also helps to prepare your relationship as a couple for your special new journey, and helps to improve your communication when time is sure to be limited, and pressure will be on, in the near future.

As a lactation consultant, I am passionate about helping moms through their breastfeeding journey and provide support after birth until well into the parenting years.

Thrive really strives to provide you with a tool kit of things that “moms and dads want to know” (not just an academic approach of what your doctor needs to know) in preparation for your new little one’s arrival.

Our Mommy Sessions are held on a Saturday and our one on one sessions with you and your partner in my rooms on a week day. It is a fun time of preparation, meeting other preggie mommies and equipping you and your partner.

You will get the answers to all of your questions….

What to buy, what to pack, how to breastfeed, labour, bathing, changing nappies, winding, parenting.. as well as prepare your hearts to welcome your precious little bundle of joy!

It is so important to have someone who can hold your hand through this incredible time that lies ahead!

Parenting is the most awe inspiring and rewarding experience, but it can also be challenging at times. Here are a few things to keep in mind as you embark on this new adventure:

  • Be patient with yourself and your partner. Becoming a parent is a big adjustment, and it takes time to learn how to do it well. Don’t expect to be perfect right away.
  • Communicate with each other. Talk about your hopes and dreams for your child, as well as your concerns and fears. The more you communicate, the better equipped you will be to handle the challenges that come your way.
  • Don’t be afraid to ask for help. There are many resources available to parents, such as family, friends, a trusted Clinic Sister and Antenatal and Parenting classes.
  • Take care of yourself. It is important to make time for self-care, even when you are busy with a new baby. Make sure to get enough sleep, eat healthy foods, and exercise regularly.
  • Enjoy the journey! Parenting is a wonderful experience, so make sure to savour every moment.

If you are expecting a new little baby, come and join us. The course consists of Online videos as well as our personal face to face sessions, all included in the price. The classes are also claimable from many medical Aids.

Moms and dads to be can watch the videos in the comfort of their own homes with a cup of hot chocolate and a rusk, and then meet afterwards for our class. 

So excited to serve you and help you through this very special time. For more info, please send me a WhatsApp on 082 553 4092. Lots of love, Sister Andrea
