"Antenatal Classes"

Recently I attended my first antenatal class at Broome Hospital run by the lovely midwife Lindsay with a special guest anaesthetist Dr Ollie.

I just wanted to express to WACHS how important and valuable these classes are to first time parents and strongly urge you to support your maternity team with being allowed to continue these alongside the positive birthing/hypnobirthing options.

I am aware the positive birthing classes are seemingly favoured by WACHS these days as they are evidence based however i think its important to remember what the health consumer wants and my personal feedback is that the practical hands on classes delivered by midwives are superior and more useful for first time parents (in my case). Massive thanks to Lindsay the midwife and i hope Broome Hospital maternity can take on this feedback and implement it.
