Prepare For Parenthood – Join Our Antenatal Classes In Dubai Today

We Provide Complete Prenatal Classes In Dubai & Abu Dhabi

Our up-to-date and evidence based antenatal classes in Dubai led by the UAE’s Baby Whisperer, Cecile de Scally, who provides information to support you on everything you could possibly need from Hypnobirthing to a planned caesarean section.

Our Prenatal or Antenatal classes are a two-part course to prepare expecting parents for birth and how to care for their precious baby in the months to follow. We believe that pregnant couples can benefit tremendously from this preparation, including knowing what to expect during birth (and afterwards) and asking the right questions to guide their birth experience in a way that makes them feel rewarded and empowered.

Join Our Prenatal Dubai Workshop To Learn From A Thorough Expert

Our prenatal classes are run by our lead parent educator, Cecile de Scally, who has over 35 years of experience as a Midwife in South Africa and the UAE. The classes cover a range of topics including preparing for birth, breathing techniques, postnatal care as well as feeding and sleep routines that suit your family. We recommend that couples attend the classes from 24 weeks of pregnancy thus enabling them to make the choices that suit their family in time for their birth.

The antenatal classes in Abu Dhabi and Dubai that we offer are scheduled on a Friday and Saturday at our Malaak Baby Center. Mama & Daddy are recommended to join!
