Discover Solihull Antenatal Classes Events & Activities in Plymouth, United Kingdom | Eventbrite

The Solihull Approach antenatal course gives parents practical information about pregnancy and birth whilst at the same time introducing them to their baby. It explains how and why those around this baby are so important.

It integrates the traditional information given on an antenatal course with a new approach to starting your relationship with this baby before the baby even makes an appearance.

Areas covered include:

• Helping you and your baby through pregnancy and birth

• Getting to know your baby in the womb

• You, your baby and the stages of labour

• Helping you and your baby through labour and birth

• Feeding your baby

• After your baby is born.

Booking essential - Please contact your local Family Hub for more details to book onto this course.

Health visitors follow guidance for regular checks and reviews - Your baby's health and development reviews on the NHS website.

The Perinatal Positivity website has videos you can watch.

Advice and support can be found through midwives and health visitors and through the Perinatal Mental Health Team at Livewell Southwest.

Find out more about perinatal mental health on the NHS England website.

The MIND website has information about postnatal depression and perinatal mental health.

The early days following the birth of your baby will be full of emotions. These are picked up by babies who are programmed to learn about the world through their carers and the people around them. 

Watch Layla's Story on YouTube to find out how and why our early childhood shapes the adults we become.

If you are worried you can speak to your health visitor or staff at your local Family Hub.

Or contact Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) Infant Mental Health Pathway at Livewell Southwest.

Video Interaction Guidance (VIG) is a technique for improving communication in situations where it naturally occurs, building on each individual's unique style by concentrating on what is effective.

TENS may also be useful while you're at home in the early stages of labour or if you plan to give birth at home. TENS is believed to work by stimulating the body to produce more of its own natural painkillers, called endorphins. It also reduces the number of pain signals sent to the brain by the spinal cord.

TENS machines can be hired for a 3 week period at a cost of £10 for hire and £10 deposit. Please contact our Family Hubs for availability.

CASH ONLY PLEASE.

Breast pumps can be hired at Rees, Fourwoods and Nomony Family Hubs.

Please phone beforehand to check availability.

These pumps can be hired for a 4 week period at a cost of £10 for hire and £10 deposit.

CASH ONLY PLEASE.
