Private Antenatal Classes with Chrissy Midwife – Gold Coast, Tweed & Northern Rivers

Looking for antenatal education with a personal touch? Chrissy Midwife offers comprehensive private antenatal classes in the comfort of your own home or via telehealth, at a time that suits you. Perfect for first-time parents or those wanting a more personalised approach, these sessions are designed to help you feel confident, informed, and fully prepared for birth and early parenting.

That’s why her one-on-one birth education sessions are tailored to your individual needs, whether you’re planning a vaginal birth or a caesarean section. Together, you’ll explore your goals for birth and focus on evidence-based, practical information that supports your journey.

• Warning signs in pregnancy

• Birth preferences and personalised birth plans

• Role of the birth partner

• Unexpected outcomes – instrumental birth, episiotomy, or caesarean

• Newborn characteristics and what to expect

• Breastfeeding and expressing basics

• Parental adjustment and postnatal mental health

• Newborn care: nappies, wraps, SIDS and safe sleeping

Each session is designed around you and your partner’s needs, and includes time to answer all your questions. This personalised format allows for deeper understanding and a more relaxed, confident approach to childbirth and early parenting.
