About this Event
Set in the wonderful Greenbird Cafe, on the St John's Church site, this 5 week Preparing Parents Birth Prep Course will help you to prepare for the journey of birth and early parenthood in a friendly and comfortable environment alongside other expectant parents who are at similar stages of pregnancy to you! We will ensure that you feel fully prepared for the arrival of your little one and confident in the first few weeks of parenting by providing you with expert guidance, support and valuable individualised information.
Your Midwife, Emily (an experienced and local Senior Midwife, and founder of Preparing Parents), will empower you with the knowledge and confidence you need to navigate this new chapter in your life, whilst offering a wonderful opportunity for you to create long-lasting friendships and build a parenting community 'village' with other expectant parents in the area who are due their babies at similar times!
Your baby is only born once, so investing in your birth prep is one of the greatest investments you will ever make!

Your 'ticket' gives you and 1 other person a space on our course so that you can bring along a trusted partner, family member or friend with you every week to support you and learn alongside you should you wish! (We do encourage you to attend with your birthing partner if you are able)!
Once you have secured your place here on Eventbrite, you will receive a follow up email confirming your booking and containing all the information you will need before attending the course.
There is plenty of parking on the road and in the carpark next to The Greenbird Cafe, which is located within the grounds of St John's Church, and it is also a 10 min walk away from nearby bus stops and Eden Park train station (supplying a direct link to London Bridge, Waterloo East and London Charing Cross stations).
Whilst similar birth prep courses are priced around £250 per person, here at Preparing Parents, we do not want the cost of this course to be a barrier for anyone wishing to access top quality birth prep in the area. We therefore ask that you carefully review your own financial situation and contribute as much or as little as you can to the cost of your ticket. We hope this enables everyone to have the opportunity to come along!!
