Prerequisites
This is an additional session following on from an antenatal course so it is recommended that you have previously attended a regular antenatal course (either with birthEd, or another organisation) before attending the homebirth session as the topics will be covering homebirth specifically, not general childbirth education questions. If you have a good understanding of the childbirth process already or have already had a baby, please do still book on.
