These classes are for you if you want to come away feeling confident and prepared for motherhood (as best you can, I mean lets face it, nothing can quite prepare you for the real thing) but you can fuel yourself with bloody good knowledge and the self-belief to know you are designed for this and that you can trust in your body!
