“The topics were brilliant! If I had to choose a favourite, it would be the session on communication- we used the strategies two days later. And our hospital class covered ‘communication’ in a single dot point on one slide.”

“This course was something I came across by chance and has been by far the most meaningful way of preparing to be a first-time parent that I could have hoped for.”

“I am better prepared to welcome our second baby and how to look after myself as well as my family.”
