What is the difference between prenatal and antenatal classes?

Prenatal and antenatal classes are the same thing — both terms refer to classes taken during pregnancy to prepare expectant parents for labour, birth, and newborn care. At Mother & Child Singapore, we offer a full range of antenatal and prenatal classes including Holistic Childbirth Preparation, Hypnobirthing, Birthing Toolkit, and more.

When should I start prenatal classes in Singapore?

We recommend booking your prenatal classes from around 20 weeks of pregnancy, so you have time to complete the course before your due date. However, we welcome parents at any stage. Contact us to find the right class timing for you.

Can my partner join the prenatal classes?

Yes, absolutely. All of Mother & Child's prenatal and childbirth preparation classes are partner-inclusive. We believe both parents benefit from being informed and prepared together, and our classes are designed to help partners feel confident and connected throughout the birth experience.

What topics are covered in your childbirth preparation course?

Our Holistic Childbirth Preparation course is evidence-based and covers the stages of labour, coping strategies for birth, pain relief options, birth preferences, postpartum recovery, and breastfeeding preparation. It blends education, mindset tools, and practical skills for labour and beyond.

What is Hypnobirthing and is it suitable for me?

Hypnobirthing is a childbirth preparation technique that uses guided relaxation, visualisation, and breathing to help you approach labour with calm and confidence. It is suitable for all expectant parents, including those planning a hospital birth, home birth, or caesarean. Mother & Child's Hypnobirthing course is available as a private class at our Tanglin Mall centre or at your home.

Do you offer a pre-lactation consultation before my baby is born?

Yes. Our Pre-Lactation Consultation helps you prepare for breastfeeding before your baby arrives. You will learn about feeding cues, how to get a good latch, and how to prevent common early breastfeeding challenges. It is led by our IBCLC-certified lactation consultants and is available at our Tanglin Mall centre.

How small are the class sizes at Mother & Child?

Mother & Child keeps class sizes intentionally small so every parent gets personalised attention and plenty of time for questions. We also offer fully private classes for couples who prefer one-on-one learning at the centre or at home.

Where are your prenatal classes held in Singapore?

Our prenatal and antenatal classes are held at our centre in Tanglin Mall, 163 Tanglin Road #03-109, Singapore 247933. Private classes are also available at your home. We are open Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm.
