Pregnancy is an amazing time in any woman’s life, but it can also be one of the scariest.
As mothers ourselves, we know how many questions run through the mind of a pregnant woman. We’ve been there before so we know how the slightest new symptom or lack of expected symptoms can make your mind race to the worst possible scenario. But we are also midwives, we have been on both sides of the birthing process and know how much wonder and excitement there is when you remove the unknown. That’s why we created an online antenatal course, to bring the peace of knowledge to every mother we can. Belly Babies was started with the intention to ease fear, to educate pregnant women and to therefore replace concern with confidence.
We have over 50 videos on every imaginable topic a pregnant woman could want to discuss, but we expect that most moms want to ask about Covid-19 and the current health system. We understand that the changes to hospitals and added health concerns are probably the main source of anxiety for expecting parents right now. We’ve watched a global pandemic create a staggering rise in anxious questions, and when coupled with pregnancy and compounded by social isolation, we knew the medical system needed to find new ways of reassuring each mother personally.
So, we’re coming (virtually) to your living rooms!
Belly Babies is proud to announce Free Live Antenatal Class with each new sign up.
All you need is the free application, Zoom, and an internet connection.
Our classes will be small and personal, with time for each mom to ask her questions and hear the concerns of other mothers in the same position. Our expert midwives and lactation consultants will let you know all the latest recommendations and discuss how your birth plans may have to change according to the latest information provided by the medical experts and hospital groups we work with across South Africa.
As our global health situation changes daily, we want to be able to give immediate, accurate and helpful information to moms who may not have the same access to their own gynaecologists and midwives during this time.
All you have to do is register for Belly Babies (included in most leading medical aids benefits schemes, check with yours) which begins your 18 month access to our comprehensive library of videos. We will email you the schedule of dates and times for your FREE face-to-face with a certified midwife and lactation consultant so pick a time and get your questions ready!
We look forward to meeting each of you.
These classes are free to new Belly Babies members.
Once you have registered on our homepage, you’ll receive an email with the dates and times for the next available classes for you to choose from. You will then be added into a private Whatsapp group where your Zoom meeting ID and Password will be sent just before your scheduled class.
You’re also able to write to your midwife with your questions ahead of time so she knows exactly what to focus on during the class.
Each class will begin with an update of all pregnancy, birth and newborn related developments with regards to Covid-19 and then there will be time to ask questions with the midwife and lactation consultant.
