What is Holistic Childbirth Prep?
A small-group antenatal course in Singapore for couples at 24–36 weeks of pregnancy. Across 8 hours it covers how labour works, pain relief (epidural and unmedicated), planned C-sections, partner support, breastfeeding and newborn care — taught by the multidisciplinary team at Mother & Child. Choose weekend intensives at Tanglin Mall or a slower evening series at East Coast. Packages from S$380 per couple.
Not a tick-the-box class: expect labour rehearsal, role play, cue cards, hands-on props and real scenarios — plus a private WhatsApp group for your cohort.

The Evening Series at Kindle Space
A cosy, slower-paced series (3 × 2.5 hours) to unwind, connect, and prepare mentally, physically and emotionally.
You're pregnant… and slightly terrified.
“I'm scared of the pain and losing control.”
“I don't know what's normal in labour, or when to go to the hospital.”
“I don't want to feel rushed or confused in the delivery room again.”
“I have no idea what happens after birth — breastfeeding, newborn care…”
“I'm having a planned C-section and I don't know what actually happens in surgery.”
If that sounds like you, this course was created for you.
Mind
How labour progresses and how to work with your hormones, not against them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Good questions. Clear answers.
-
The sweet spot is 24–36 weeks of pregnancy — far enough along for the content to feel relevant, and early enough to process everything, discuss plans with your obstetrician, and practise the techniques. Many parents join in the late second or early third trimester.
-
Yes. If your schedule, travel or personal comfort makes earlier classes easier, you can attend earlier — especially first-time parents who want more time to digest the information.
-
Absolutely — you're always welcome on your own. If possible, bring whoever will support you during labour: your partner, a friend, a doula or a family member.
-
Yes — 100%. We cover:
How a planned C-section typically works in Singapore
What to expect in the operating theatre
Skin-to-skin options and partner involvement
Pain management and recovery
Breastfeeding after a C-section
Even if you don't labour, the newborn care, postpartum and feeding sections are essential. Many C-section parents join Class 2 only.
-
Definitely. Holistic Childbirth Prep is not anti-epidural. You'll learn:
When epidurals work best
What to expect during the procedure
How to labour before and after the epidural
How your partner can support you
What it means for mobility, pushing and monitoring
We focus on informed choice, not ideology.
-
Great — you'll learn:
Breathing and relaxation techniques
Movement and positions that help labour progress
Comfort measures that reduce pain
How to reduce fear and tension
How your partner can support and advocate
The goal is confidence, whichever path you choose.
-
Yes — calmly and clearly. We cover what may happen, why it might be needed, and how you can stay involved in decision-making. We want birth to feel understandable, not frightening.
-
More than "hold her hand and breathe together". Partners learn:
Physical support: positions, massage, counter-pressure
How to reduce stress hormones around you
What to say — and what not to say
How to communicate with the care team
How to advocate without being confrontational
Most partners walk out saying: "I finally know what to do."
-
Most parents say the opposite — they feel calmer because they understand what's happening and why. We don't show graphic images or horror stories. We teach with clarity, compassion and realism.
-
Fewer than 10 couples. Small groups mean you feel safe enough to ask questions and get personalised support.
-
Just the essentials:
A water bottle
Comfortable clothes
A notebook and pen (optional)
Your partner
All your questions
We provide all materials, worksheets and handouts.
-
It's rare, but if it happens, reach out — we'll help you transfer your fee towards postpartum or breastfeeding support, depending on timing.
-
Yes. We cover how birth usually works in both systems in Singapore, and how to communicate clearly with whichever team is caring for you.
-
Yes — if group classes don't suit your schedule or needs, enquire about private birth preparation. Some couples prefer one-on-one guidance.
-
Yes. If you're having a planned C-section and prefer to skip the labour segment, join Class 2 only (S$380 per couple) — newborn care, early bonding, feeding, sleep, safe handling, and the emotional and physical transition after birth.
Continue your preparation
Birth is unpredictable.
Preparation changes everything.
You may not control how labour begins. But you can understand your options, practise coping tools, feel calmer — and walk in knowing what support looks like.
