Meath Antenatal

Congratulations! You are pregnant! This is a very exciting time for you, your partner and your family. You will be thinking of whether you will be having a boy or girl, what to buy for the new arrival and will have many other thoughts going through your mind. You may be thinking about your growing belly, about labour and birth and looking after your little bundle of joy. This is where I can help. I am a registered midwife currently working in one of the busiest labour wards in the country. I offer one day antenatal classes for new parents or a half day refresher class for people who have had a baby before. These classes will include antenatal education, labour, birth, feeding and how to care for your baby. I also offer one home visit when your baby is born and follow up advice over the phone if needed. I recommend attending antenatal classes between 26-36 weeks
