Antenatal Education Class - a guide to pregnancy and caring for your baby

Chesterfield Royal Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to present our Antenatal Education Class, a patient information video.

We hope that the following short videos and slides will help answer some of the questions you may have about the changes that happen to your body in pregnancy, the labour stages and pain relief, and what happens once the baby is born.

Please note: Simulation dolls have been used in some areas of this video.

This information will assist you to make birth choices in your birth plan. This generally happens around 34 to 36 weeks. Please speak to your community midwife for further details.

Our Maternity team offers a complete service from postnatal care, through to birth, antenatal and after care for you and your baby and a very close working relationship with our community partners.
