The Complete Birth Preparation Package covers everything you and your birth partner need to prepare for labour, birth and early parenthood in an interactive and fun way.

​

This 12hr in-person course is held at the Choose You Yoga Studio in Livingston, West Lothian over two consecutive Sundays. 

We spend half the course on preparing for birth and the forms that may take. The other half of the course focuses on taking care of your baby and what to expect during those first few weeks with a newborn.  

Gain the knowledge you need to make informed decisions that feel right for you, your baby and your family. 

​

A group course is also a wonderful way to meet other local expectant parents and make new friends.
