Growing Family? Exclusively for expectant BCT members, free drop-in prenatal information and relaxation sessions.

Here’s a chance for any BCT member expecting a baby to come to informal prenatal classes. Whilst the focus of the sessions are on having second (or third or fourth babies) everyone is welcome.  Held bi-monthly (to begin with at least) each afternoon session will include: information, practical techniques and Q&A session to help parents have calm, informed, positive birth experiences. Breathing, massages or relaxations for contented, comfortable and tranquil pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding.

Discussion on whatever topics are important for you, for example

• Choosing your place of birth
• Antenatal screening choices
• Vaginal birth after caesarean (VBAC)
• Breastfeeding
• Understanding what happened in previous births
• Managing day to day life with a growing family
• Sibling rivalry

Sessions run from 2-4.30pm on a drop-in basis, so come when you can within that time, at the Kindermusik studio at Leimgrubenweg 9, Dreispitz, Basel.  Siblings are welcome to attend, but please bring some toys or a snack to entertain them, and please remember that you remain responsible for them during the session.  Please note that snacks must be kept in the cloakroom.

Sessions are planned for the following dates:

Tuesday 14 September 2-4.30pm
Tuesday 23 November 2-4.30pm

You are welcome to come to as many (or few) sessions as you like, but as space is limited please let Susie know if you plan to attend (and if there are any particular issues you would like to address).
