Happy Spring Day ✨🌸

Spring reminds us that every new season brings growth, beauty, and little miracles. 💕 For expecting moms and those holding their newborns close, this season is more than blossoms — it’s a reminder of the love, hope, and fresh starts that come with new life. 🌞👶

Every parent wants to feel ready for the challenges and joys of a new baby. Antenatal classes give you the tools to face birth and parenthood with confidence and knowledge. 👶 💛

What you’ll gain:

• Clarity and confidence about labour and your choices

• Support skills for partners and family

• Practical knowledge: breathing, pain relief, newborn care, breastfeeding

• Real talk on recovery, emotions, and adjusting as a family

• Connections with other expecting parents

Did you know? 🌸
Women naturally move during labour—sitting, squatting, kneeling, or even in water—to make birth more comfortable and effective. Learning about active birth helps you understand your body and trust what feels right. 💛

Skin-to-skin contact right after birth helps babies and mums in amazing ways! It calms your baby, regulates their breathing and temperature, and supports bonding and breastfeeding. For mums, it boosts oxytocin, helping with connection and milk flow. A simple moment that makes a big difference. 💗

Let’s help ensure dignity, communication, and support are part of every birth experience. 💗

Every woman and their baby deserves safe, respectful care.

Yet, mistreatment during pregnancy, childbirth and the postnatal period remains far too common in many parts of the world.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Dignity, equity and respect must be part of every aspect of maternal and newborn care.
