Antenatal Information Sessions Southend - 6, 13, 20 November 2025, 11am-1pm

Learn about all things birth and baby at our free antenatal information sessions.

Join our local supporters at our informal antenatal workshops. These free sessions are designed to prepare expectant mums and birthing people for a healthy labour, birth and becoming a parent.

Our workshops are run by our friendly team of peer supporters; they're not healthcare professionals, but they are highly trained and they're mums too, so they've all been in your shoes at some point. They're there to offer professional support without judgement or criticism. And because they all live nearby, they know exactly how things work in your area and where to signpost to if you need any extra help or information.

What to expect from our Antenatal Information Sessions:

• A relaxed, non-medical setting
• Sessions take place over just three weeks
• A friendly, non-judgemental space where you can ask questions and share any worries you may have
• A free information pack of resources
• The chance to meet other local parents-to-be and make friendships
• The option to join a WhatsApp group run by our peer supporters, who will share extra info and tips
• Invitations to our coffee mornings, Bumps and Babies meet-ups and other local events

What you'll learn about:

• Session 1: You and your wellbeing (learn about healthy eating, keeping active, understanding your changing body, and emotional wellbeing)
• Session 2: Preparing for labour and birth (learn how to manage contractions, what to pack in your hospital bag, different birth positions, making birth plans and how to manage your birthing expectations)
• Session 3: Practical baby care (learn about feeding your baby, nappy changing, how to bath your baby, safe sleep, and travelling with your baby)
