Moms-to-be, bring your partner to the NEW Just Like Labour™ class and experience an intense ice labour simulation together! This realistic labour experience is a fun and unforgettable way of preparing for childbirth. Whether you are pregnant with your first child or fourth, this class is a necessary addition to your regular childbirth education series, or the perfect refresher for experienced parents. This class is held on one evening for two hours to accomodate your busy schedule. Bring your labour room companions so they can discover how best to support you when you need it the most.
Hospitals in London still enforce the limit of two support people with you during labour, so we recommend bringing those two people with you to this class, especially if you are not having the support of a doula. If you have planned a homebirth, you don’t need to worry about support people restrictions of course! You and your partners will learn the best “tried and true” techniques, labour positions, and comfort measures in a safe environment. Preparing for childbirth is both empowering and important. Join us for the experience!
