Maternity Antenatal Classes

Antenatal Classes 2020

Please note antenatal classes have been cancelled at this time due to COVID-19. Classes will resume as soon as safely possible.

While we cannot have face to face classes at this time, the midwives at the antenatal clinic have provided all women with an antenatal information pack which provides information on all aspects of pregnancy, birth and postnatal needs.

The midwives are happy to discuss any issues with you personally at your antenatal visits or you can phone the Labour Ward on 071 9174676, the Maternity Ward on 071 9174608, the Fetal Assessment Unit on 071 9174593 or the Antenatal Clinic at Kingsbridge Hospital on 071 910300.

There are online antenatal classes that we recommend you watch provided by the HSE on https://www2.hse.ie/wellbeing/child-health/antenatal-classes.html

We are working on resuming our own antenatal and breastfeeding classes as soon as possible.

Thank you for your understanding.
