ANTENATAL AND POSTNATAL CLASSES, SERVICES AND SUPPORT
BY MIDWIFE & IBCLC LISELOTTE HILL
Why choose "Little Miracles" Antenatal Classes?
My antenatal classes are designed to both inform and empower you and your birth partner throughout the process of labour, birth and beyond. My aim is to help you gain confidence in your body and your natural ability to give birth to your beautiful baby.You will be given plenty of tips and advice so that you and your birth partner can relax and look forward to this very special journey into parenthood.
At present I do not provide antenatal group classes, but if you can gather with some friends, I am happy to accomodate a "group of friends" antenatal class or course.
For first-time parents, I highly recommend my "Labour, Birth & Baby" course as outlined below which runs over three 90 min. sessions.
For "repeat" parents or those with specific needs (example twins or planned C-section) I provide specific programs tailored to your own needs.
Topics covered in Labour, Birth & Baby Classes:
*Healthy life in late pregnancy
*Preparation for labour, birth and beyond
*Physiology of labour and birth
*First signs of labour and what to do next, when to go to hospital or call your Midwife
*Coping methods and pain relief (natural and medical)
*Birth of your baby and first moments with your baby
*Breastfeeding / bottle feeding basics
*your immediate postnatal recovery (physically & mentally)
*Tips and advice for birthing partners
*Practical exercises: use of birthing ball, rebozo, labour ease methods, breathing techniques, positions for labour and birth, pelvic floor exercises
*basics of hypno birthing
I use slide show and video material during classes and there is plenty of time for chats and questions. Back-up information is provided by email and you will get a download link to my ebook.
This course runs over 3 private one-to-one sessions or can be accomodated to a "group of friends", maximum 3 couples.
Costs will be reduced if friends gather together for this course.
If your time is limited and you can not commit to 3 sessions, you can opt for a single "ask the midwife" session during which we focus on what's important for you. You list your questions and we'll take it from there...

Lisolette is such a lovely warm person who inspired confidence in me. Baby number 1 is so daunting and I knew very little about the birth process but Lisolette went through all options and the process and I feel calmer knowing what to expect. Her class is so personable and I loved that approach. Thank you so much

Really informative class in a relaxed setting. Highly recommended.
Very clear and concise. Good balance of argument for natural vs assisted birth methods
