Pregnancy and birth can be a scary time. Culturally we are bombarded with so many negative messages that convince us that becoming a parent is something to be feared. Additionally, for Queer families having to navigate a hyper-gendered heteronormative perinatal care system can be additionally perplexing. It’s difficult to properly articulate the culmination of these discomforts and anxieties but this is why we developed our perinatal education programme. The aim of the sessions are to equip you with unbiased knowledge about pregnancy and birth to allow you to go forward and make informed decisions about your body, care and family. All sessions are non-gendered, trauma-informed, non-judgemental and regard the family unit, meaning that non-gestational parents are considered equals.

Postnatal Sessions

Postnatal session 1 (4 Hours)

This first session looks at bringing your baby home and the fourth trimester. We will look at what products are REALLY necessary and worth buying. We will explore feeding options, safe sleep, bathing including eye and cord care and nappy changing.

Postnatal Session 2 (4 Hours)

In this session we will look at babywearing, how to arrange your nursery, tools to soothe your crying baby, how to take care of your postpartum body, postpartum nourishment and baby massage. By the time you finish the course, you should feel confident enough to do things by yourself or know who to ask for extra help
