 Chat Details

 

Hosted by WeMidwives using #WeMidwives

This chat is guest hosted by @MhairiMcLellan @charlMidwife



Generally women having their first baby will be offered antenatal classes or antenatal education of some description, towards the end of their pregnancy. These are usually also open to women who already have children although uptake for these women tends to be low. The form and content of antenatal classes varies widely from area to area. Often topics will be split up, such as one class on labour and birth, another on infant feeding etc. This chat will focus on antenatal classes/education on labour and birth and participants are encouraged to share their experience of giving (and potentially receiving) antenatal education whether in formal antenatal classes, or in any other form of education/information giving. The aim of the chat is to hear what people do and do not think is important to include in antenatal education, to discuss, and to learn from each other. We hope to generate lots of discussion on this topic and welcome personal experience, from women and families as well as professionals and students.


Questions:

1. Which topics/areas do you include in antenatal education on labour and birth and why?

2. Which topics do you choose not to include in antenatal education on labour and birth and why?

3. What do you cover in regards to coping mechanisms/pain relief and what do you leave out? Why?

4. Are there things that you think are too late to discuss for the first time in labour? Why? 

5. What is the most important thing you hope women take away from antenatal education on labour and birth?
