North Sydney Antenatal and Caesarean Section Classes

Families on Sydney’s Lower North Shore can access Antenatal and Caesarean classes in North Sydney. Run by practising midwives, these sessions combine evidence-based education with real-world, practical advice.

We know that there is more than just the birth, so there is a large focus on partners, postpartum, breastfeeding, bottle feeding and baby care (including the evidence behind how baby’s sleep).

Ella

Ella is a Registered Midwife who enjoys working in all areas of midwifery including birthing unit, antenatal and postnatal wards. Ella is passionate about providing women and families with education around pregnancy, birth and the postpartum period and feels privileged to be able to hold this safe spaces, as a Midwife, for families to grow.

Anna

Anna is a nurse, midwife, mother, and wife. She has experience across adult and newborn nursing, and multiple aspects of midwifery, from homebirth to caesarean birth. She has worked in two high risk hospitals which allowed her to support women throughout both high and low-risk pregnancies, and she even supported women throughout vaginal breech births.

Currently you’ll find her either on the antenatal ward or chasing after my son. She believes it’s an honour to play a role in the most transformative time in a persons life; the casual miracle that is a woman birthing a baby, and a part of herself.

She is incredibly passionate about antenatal education and ensuring that women, birthing people and families feel confident to ask questions, make decisions, and speak up. “After all, this is your story to tell!”

Rachel

A very big hello!

My name is Rachel and I’ve been a Registered Midwife for 6 years, currently working on the Northern Beaches, Sydney.

I have a passion for working and supporting women and their families through the exciting journey to parenthood! I’m a firm believer and advocate for the importance of education and informed decision making during pregnancy, labour & birth as well as the postnatal period.

Women are so powerful, and it’s such a privilege to walk beside them and help them unlock their inner strength and wisdom.

What our North Sydney clients say

  • Jayde

    “Wow!! My partner and I were completely blown away with this class! Not only did we gain more knowledge about birth and postpartum, we left feeling so much more confident and excited! Lauren is a wealth of information and makes the class so fun by lots of interactive activities and breaking things down so it’s easier to understand and sink in. As first time parents we couldn’t recommend this class enough for any Mama or couples out there that want to feel more prepared for this next special chapter in your lives.”

  • Amy

    “Hubby and I just did our class this past weekend. We both enjoyed ourselves and Lauren was so informative. Really opened our eyes as first time parents to all the possibilities and options we have when going through birth and beyond. So glad we got the opportunity to attend and learn.”

  • Emily

    “My partner and I really enjoyed our class a few weeks ago. We learnt a lot and walked away feeling confident that we could handle labour, birth and life afterwards. Lauren was easy to listen to and taught in a way that was fun and entertaining. Have already recommended her to other pregnant friends!”

  • Elysha

    “Such an informative class with such great real life and practical information. As second time parents, it was so useful to learn all the new changes since our last birth and taught us so much more than our last hospital run class. Was such a beautiful space and included an amazing lunch and goodie bag!! Recommend it to all my friends!”

  • Adelle

    “The class was incredible!!!! We learnt so much about birth, breastfeeding and bub! Lauren is such an amazing trainer, she made everyone feel comfortable, answered everyone’s questions, we had fun, and now feel so empowered for our birth. There was so much information for me and my support person. Plus the space is beautiful. Could not recommend the class more!”
