Why antenatal classes




















Both working parents need their time and space to free themselves from their endless responsibilities. However, in this rat race of achieving greater success in work and personal life, most of us resort to quick fixes due to which much of our ancestral wisdom has been lost and forgotten.

In joint families, members live together under one roof and share their problems. In such a setup, elderly women often know secret recipes and cures for most of the common ailments, the knowledge of which has been passed on to them from earlier generations. Handling children and their problems was never a herculean task when couples used to live in joint families.

Antenatal and Lamaze classes were introduced less than a century ago to bridge the gap between the old and new, and help new parents meet the challenges associated with parenthood.

These classes prepare the expecting mothers and their spouses for their forthcoming child. Anyone expecting a baby can attend these sessions and look for solutions and generalise on the same level that they are going through.

Childbirth and pregnancy is an overwhelming experience especially for the mother. The emotional and physical changes in the body and mind can be difficult to understand without the help of a doctor or gynecologist, who can explain every single issue a pregnant woman goes through.

Antenatal care or prenatal classes are the preparatory sessions to help expectant parents get ready for labour and parenthood. The entire idea behind providing antenatal classes for a pregnant woman and her partner is to promote a better quality lifestyle for both the mother and the baby. Visualisations CD Postnatal Booklet.
