A Class For Parents-To-Be? Yep, It Exists!
One Mama Midwife’s Game-Changing Antenatal Classes Will Have You Prepped And Ready
There’s no instruction manual when it comes time to become a parent. Nor is there a manual for pregnancy, labour or the post-partum journey. Everyone’s experience is completely unique but that’s not to say there aren’t a number of tools and services we can rely on along the way. Enter One Mama Midwife.
Lauren is a midwife, antenatal class specialist and mum of four looking to fill the gap for first time parents. She’s been running enriching Antenatal Classes since 2021 and, always seeking to make her offering as inclusive as possible, she has now introduced her new Elective Caesarean Class.
“I started One Mama Midwife when covid hit and access to antenatal classes and education was all stopped, leaving so many women scared and unsure of their options for upcoming birth. I wanted women to have access to information, tips and tricks that they could trust, to try and ease some of the fear around childbirth and the postpartum period”, shares Lauren.
So, what do Lauren’s classes look like? They’re fun, interactive, informative and practical.
For those attending the Antenatal Class, you can expect details on preparation for labour, how to create the ultimate birth space and when to call the hospital through to labour and birth positions and pain relief options. She also explores how to be the best birth partner, breastfeeding and baby care.
The Elective Caesarean Class covers how to write your caesarean birth plan, have a positive caesarean, maximise your healing and more. Both classes also include everything you need to know about getting through the first six weeks. Think breastfeeding 101 to bottle feeding and swaddling. Attendees can also look forward to a yummy lunch and goodie bag filled with discounts, freebies and a workbook.
The Antenatal Class runs for six hours whilst the Elective Caesarean Class runs for four. Both have plenty of time to go through all class components in addition to lots of question and answer time as Lauren caps her classes at just six couples.
On top of her workshops, Lauren is constantly sharing UP-TO-DATE resources with her members. She’s your go-to gal and we all need one of those, right?!
If you’re interested in taking part in one of Lauren’s classes, she is currently running one Antenatal and one Elective Caesarean class per month in her very chic new Caringbah studio - Sol Studio. These classes book out quickly so we recommend snagging your desired slot asap. You’ll even be eligible to claim up to $330 on your class if you’re with private health insurance as Lauren is an Endorsed Midwife with a Medicare Provider Number. Woo!
Now, pop your feet up, save up all of your burning questions and look forward to learning from the best of the best!
