Dads and partners have told us that they would like to meet up with other dads and partners and would like more information about pregnancy, birth and becoming a parent.
I'd like information about the simple things.... How to bath baby safely, feeding, changing nappies etc.
Our FREE online workshops are open to dads and partners across South and Mid Essex.
The topics covered are:
- Benefits of relaxation during labour and birth
