NCT Antenatal Courses

• Are for you and your partner and are open to all

• Are small, informal and friendly groups for parents expecting babies around the same time

• Aim to give information about pregnancy, birth and early parenthood and provide an opportunity to make informed choices about your labour and your baby’s birth

There is a cost for the course but subsidised places are available for those on low incomes.

Our antenatal teachers undergo a thorough training with the NCT although they are not required to be medically qualified. 

All teachers are expected to keep up to date with the latest developments in maternity care and must register with us every year.

Their role is to offer support, information, practical skills and resources to help parents make informed choices for themselves and their babies. 

They do not offer medical advice and parents are asked to take any questions about the medical care of mother and baby to their midwife, health visitor or doctor.
