Expecting a baby?

Planning to give birth with Hull Hospital’s Trust?

Welcome to antenatal education.

Having a baby (or babies) is an exciting time but you may have many questions to ask along the way. If you are planning to give birth in Hull Women and Children’s hospital, one of our sister sites or at home with our local community midwives, we would like to offer you antenatal education sessions. These are to provide support and information for your pregnancy, preparing for birth and caring for a new baby.

We welcome everyone. We would like to share your excitement and make you feel as comfortable as possible. If you have a particular need which might not be met in the group sessions, please contact us and we will try to find a way to help.

All our classes are free of charge.
