Welcome > Refreshers with 2nd or 3rd or 4th pregnancy
Refreshers are pregnant couples who are expecting their 2nd or subsequent baby
who want to refresh their birth and newborn knowledge
Refresher pregnant couples may want information regarding: normal labour, newborn care, breastfeeding, VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), waterbirth, active birth, midwifery care, obstetric care, breathing and positioning techniques for labour, comfort measures for labour, teamwork between the labouring woman and her partner and the effective use birth plans.
Julie Clarke specialises in providing high quality evidenced based preparation for birth and newborn care in very condensed formats such as 2xSaturdays (Condensed Course) or 1x Sunday (the Super Condensed Course). Options which are more likely to fit around babysitting availability.
Your needs will probably differ a little from those having their first baby and may find a fast refresh is ideal to help them to refocus and prepare for this baby as a couple.
What is the recommended format for a refresher?
Choose from the following options to suit your needs:
Transition into Parenthood - one day workshop - birth and baby care course in one day on a Sunday - especially if you have already done the full course previously - full info here
Transition into Parenthood - two Saturday course - birth and baby care course in 2 days - for those wanting a thorough refresh of information or for mothers with a new partner who has not been a father before - full info here
calmbirth® course - day two of the calmbirth course is an ideal way to refresh all the information and practice for those who have already done the full calmbirth course with a previous pregnancy - full info here
The full calmbirth® course - over two days is a terrific way to refresh for those who have had a baby before and would like to gain more techniques for creating a positive birth experience this time - full info here
To help you make the right choice to suit your requirements check these scenarios below:
We have had a baby before although he was premature and we missed out on going to any classes, so we didn't really get to prepare at all - which options would be best for us?
Julie recommends the 2xSat course and the 2 day calmbirth® course as the ideal preparation for you both this time. book in
We attended both of Julie's courses 2 years ago and loved it. We felt very prepared and want to feel that way again, which are the best and quickest options for us?
Julie recommends the one day birth and baby workshop on a Sunday and day 2 of the calmbirth course. book in
Our first child is 5 years old and now we are wanting to prepare anew for this baby, we have noticed that lots of things have changed, which options would be best for us?
