When should I take a prenatal class?
We often get asked, “When should I start antenatal classes?” We recommend that you take an Antenatal / Prenatal classes around 28 weeks, up until around 32 weeks into your pregnancy. Since prenatal courses tend to consist of at least 4 individual classes, this will ensure you have completed all of the prenatal program before hitting 37 weeks, which is when your baby becomes ‘term’ and could arrive at any minute!
Benefits of Taking a Prenatal Classes
Are you pregnant and asking yourself, “Do I need to go to antenatal classes in Singapore?” or “Are antenatal / prenatal classes necessary?” The answer is: There are MANY benefits to taking a prenatal class – especially when you are pregnant with your first baby!

Our Midwife’s Birth Story – My Positive Birth Experience!
Read the birth experince of our Australian trained and registered nurse and midwife: “I was 41 weeks and 2 days pregnant and I had tried EVERY natural method of inducing labour without any success. I was very motivated to have a vaginal birth without any epidural and, luckily, my pregnancy was low risk. Since I had agreed to start the induction process 10 days past my estimated due date (EDD), the midwifery group practice where I was receiving my prenatal care put the wheels in motion.”
