Second Time parent Refresher Antenatal Class 2nd September


Recommended Posts

The Group are a team of local practicing midwives that run Antenatal Classes for local parents and parents to be.


The next Second Time Parent group is running in The Lordship Pub on Sunday 2nd September. The course includes back up reading material and a hearty pub lunch!


A refresher class is a great opportunity for you to debrief your last birth with midwife and local mum of two Rachel, and with that in mind have realistic plans for your next birth. We also jog your memory on feeding and recovery as well as suggestions for preparing your first child to become a big brother or sister. Our relaxed and informal sessions create plenty of opportunity to get all your questions answered and chat to other local parents.


COURSE CONTENT

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother. 
    • Sadly they don't do the full range of post office services
