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 with breastfeeding and newborn care.”
I’m having a planned C-section… and I don’t really know what actually happens in surgery. It makes me nervous.”
If that sounds like you, you’re exactly who Holistic Childbirth Prep was created for.
More Than Just “What to Pack in Your Hospital Bag”
This is not a tick-the-box antenatal class where you watch a video and practise one breathing technique.
Holistic Childbirth Prep brings together:
Mind:
Understand what’s happening in your body, how labour progresses, and how to work with your hormones instead of fighting them.Body:
Positions, movement, comfort measures, and pain relief options (medical and non-medical) so you’re not stuck on your back unless you choose to be.Partner:
Clear roles for your birth partner – what to say, what to do, what not to do, and how to advocate for you without starting a war in the delivery room.Postpartum & Feeding:
What the first 48 hours really look like, how to get breastfeeding off to a good start, and how to protect your recovery and mental health.
Who This Course Is For
This course is perfect for you if you:
Are a first-time parent who wants practical, grounded preparation.
Had a previous birth that felt rushed or overwhelming.
Prefer evidence-based information without fear-mongering.
Are giving birth in a Singapore hospital and want to understand the system.
Want your partner to feel confident, useful, and prepared.
Are planning a C-section.
Class 2 covers everything you’ll need immediately after birth - from newborn care and skin-to-skin options to breastfeeding and early recovery. Many C-section mothers join specifically for this session.
What You’ll Learn
Our Holistic Childbirth Preparation course goes beyond information. You will have hands-on demonstrations, labour rehearsal, practical partner exercises, and interactive tools, where you’ll gain the confidence to approach birth and early parenthood feeling informed and prepared.
Across the course, you’ll experience:
✨ Labour rehearsal & role play
Practise coping strategies, breathing techniques, labour positions, and decision-making for different birth scenarios.
✨ Partner practice
Learn how your birth partner can provide meaningful support through massage, comfort measures, advocacy, and reassurance during labour.
✨ Cue cards & interactive learning tools
Use visual prompts and practical exercises to better understand labour stages, interventions, and your birth options.
✨ Hands-on tools, props & demons
Explore comfort tools, birth positions, newborn care techniques, and breastfeeding basics through guided demonstrations.
✨ Real-life scenarios & practical discussions
Talk through common concerns, “what if” situations, and how to navigate unexpected twists with confidence.
✨ Breastfeeding & newborn care preparation
Understand feeding cues, latch basics, newborn behaviour, and the realities of the early postpartum period.
This isn’t just a class to attend.
It’s a space to ask questions, practise skills, connect with other parents, and prepare both psychologically and physically for birth and beyond.

Testimonials
“The Childbirth Preparation antenatal classes at Mother & Child were hugely informative and it was there that we made our first great baby group friends. We learnt so much and now feel far more confident about welcoming our baby.”
- Eric Lee
“The Holistic Childbirth Prep class was incredibly informative and the facilitators were so warm and friendly. It really helped my husband and me feel more at ease as we prepare for labour and birth. We’re already planning to return for their lactation support.”

How to advocate without being confrontational

If you’re having a planned C-section and prefer to skip the labour segment, you can join Class 2 only, which focuses entirely on newborn care, early bonding, feeding, sleep, safe handling, and the emotional + physical transition after birth.This is a popular option for C-section parents who still want to feel prepared, confident, and supported for life with a newborn.
Birth is unpredictable. Preparation changes everything.
You may not control how labour begins.
But you can understand your options.
You can practise coping tools.
You can feel calmer.
And you can walk in knowing what support looks like.
