Childbirth and Parenting
Preparing you and your partner for your birth and the journey into parenthood.
Bringing a baby into the world is one of the most special and significant moments in your life. At Gosford Private, we want to empower you with the support and knowledge you need to feel confident and prepared for the journey ahead.
We offer parents (as well as support partners and grandparents) a wide range of interactive, informative and social sessions which provide education on your pregnancy, birth and beyond.
These sessions are facilitated by our childbirth educators and midwives and will help build trust and faith in yourself, your body and your individual birthing choices.
Our free sessions include:
- Maternity Ward Tours – Visit our Maternity Ward, view our facilities and meet our friendly team (available by appointment).
- Meet and Greet with our Maternity Team – Find out what to expect and ask all your questions. Perfect for soon-to-be parents and grandparents.
Specialty sessions include:
- Birth & Beyond Parenting Program – Our comprehensive antenatal program covering a wide range of topics including pregnancy, labour, Caesarean and Vaginal Birth After Caesarean (VBAC), baby care and parenting skills. These sessions are offered over two consecutive Saturday mornings (half day), or as a full day 'crash course' on a Saturday.
- Breastfeeding Basics – Everything you need to know to prepare you for breastfeeding your baby, including tips, myths and a Q&A session with our experienced Midwife Educators.
