Local antenatal classes...
Becky Byrne is NCT teacher for SE15 and the surrounding area. She runs courses in her own home in Nunhead on weekday evenings and above
the Old Nun’s Head Pub on Saturdays.
Courses cover:
• late pregnancy
• labour
• pain management
• caesareans and assisted birth
• coping strategies
• partners role
• life with a new baby
• practical baby skills such as nappy changing, safety and settling babies
• coping with crying
• physical and emotional recovery
• lifestyle and relationship changes.
PLUS a separate breastfeeding session with a qualified local breastfeeding counsellor.
All literature/handouts is included in the course pack.
The courses are small enough to be personalised and made up of local couples with due dates at the same time.
At each course everyone is asked what they would like to cover so they are tailored to each group’s needs and individual requirements.
There is also a get together once the babies all arrive although some groups have already been meeting up way before then!
All teachers are regularly assessed and observed to make sure they keep to the required standards and are issued with a Licence from the NCT to guarantee the quality of our teaching. To keep this Licence they also have to attend Continuous Professional Development study days so all information is up to date. Training takes place over years and is accredited by both the University of Bedfordshire and the University of Worcester.
