Stork, Baby & You evolved, as Sue realized there was a need for more personalised antenatal classes for parents-to-be, to increase their knowledge. With 28 years experience in maternity, she now presents you with this opportunity for learning.

A detailed information package is provided upon arrival on the day. This enables participants to take it home & read in the relaxation of their home, topics discussed during the antenatal classes. Information is based on evidence gained from books, journal articles, study days & conferences.

Sue is a current practicing midwife in a busy maternity unit. She deals with healthy pregnancy & birthing, also high risk situations which can occur, requiring intervention.
