Nurture The Borders Antenatal & Baby Classes

Nurture the Borders Antenatal is the home of accredited antenatal, postnatal and baby classes and workshops in the Scottish Borders.

Our all inclusive Active Antenatal™ method is a ground breaking, effective and all encompassing pregnancy class helping you to learn your antenatal education and active birth techniques in a truly effective way – anchored to your breath, your body and your movement – exactly where you will need it on your baby’s birthing day.

Each class will deliver:
• Traditional antenatal education
• Active birth awareness
• An easy way to understand medical induction and interventions
• Flowing movement sequences anchored to your body and breath
• Breathing techniques for every stage of labour
• Relaxation techniques
• Peer-to-peer support in a women only class

Classes can be started from 14 weeks of pregnancy and are taught over a six-week term. Women can do as many terms as they wish until baby is born -lots of mums repeat terms if timing allows! Most importantly, Daisy Birthing classes are supportive of all birth choices and help you to stay calm on delivery day no matter what path your birthing journey takes.
