Overview
These sessions are held in person or online and provide valuable information about labour and birth, breastfeeding, and caring for your newborn in the early days. They are designed to help you build confidence, ask questions, and connect with experienced educators in a supportive environment.
We recommend attending both our Birth and Early Parenting Education and Breastfeeding Education Classes. These sessions aim to provide you with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to prepare for birth, establish feeding, and care for your newborn in the early days.
These classes are available only to people receiving maternity care at Werribee Mercy Hospital.
