Antenatal Circle
Relaxed, positive and sociable midwife led antenatal classes
Antenatal Circle is led by experienced Edinburgh community midwife Heather Pullinger
and her team and is hosted at Loudons New Waverley and Loudons Fountainbridge.
We host birth preparation and baby classes based on the latest evidence and local
Edinburgh insights to help you feel confident and relaxed in the choices you make - for
birth and the early days of getting to know your baby.
It can be overwhelming to know what to focus on to prepare for your baby’s birth and we
hope to help you through this with clear, concise, modern classes. We are also hopeful
you’ll make lifelong friends at these classes.
Come and join your circle.
Antenatal Classes
Antenatal Circle offers you full access to a midwife led, evidence-based grounding of what to expect during the final weeks of your pregnancy, your labour and the first days with your baby - designed to give you and your partner the tools to make choices with confidence.
Venues
We run two groups each month to allow you to choose the most suitable location when booking. Antenatal Circle works in partnership with independent Loudons New Waverley and Loudons Fountainbridge whose modern open plan venues which are ideal to get to know each other in comfort. Hot drinks and home-made cakes will be on offer from Loudons at each session.
Sociable Classes
Our classes are socially interactive and we encourage you to enjoy them and begin to build new friendships. Separately to your course we book the group a table at Loudons to share a relaxed brunch. This takes place without the instructor present and gives you more time to talk and get to know each other. We encourage you to come along as making friends at this stage is so useful once your baby arrives.
(Please note the price of brunch is not included in the course fee)
