Research shows that independent, evidence-based antenatal classes, such as One Mama Midwife, can reduce fear, anxiety, interventions and postpartum post traumatic stress disorder. Fear during labour can negatively impact your mental state, slow the progress of your labour, lead to more operative births and increase the rates of negative birth experiences (Gün Kakaşçı, et al., 2023).
Furthermore, attending Antenatal Classes has been shown to increase self-confidence in the labour room as well as in the postpartum period (Gün Kakaşçı, et al., 2023).
Our classes have the unique advantage of being completely evidence-based and up to date. They have been curated by an experienced Endorsed Midwife in consultation with Obstetricians, GPs and Women’s Health Physiotherapists. Meaning that they will give you a holistic understanding of birth, labour, inductions, interventions, caesareans, postpartum and baby care!
Our classes are held in a supportive and inclusive environment. The classes are interactive, fun, practical and allow you to ask questions. You can also connect with other expecting parents in Brisbane to make your future mother’s group.
