Antenatal Classes

Having a baby? BCT Antenatal classes are a great way to get ready for your baby’s arrival. Read on for more information.

The BCT antenatal teacher, Susie Atkinson, works with us to offer a range of different English language antenatal classes to families in the Basel region.

Preparation for Parenthood, a structured group course for mothers and fathers/partners centring on birth, breastfeeding and the new family, including baby care skills, life with a small baby and managing family life. 14 hours are group sessions for mothers and fathers/partners together (including 2 hours postnatally). 3 hours are mother only Relax, Stretch and Breathe sessions. Ideally join a class about one month before your due date.

Relax, Stretch and Breathe classes, early evening classes for pregnant women, focusing on relaxation, breathing and gentle movement and yoga positions to help through pregnancy, for birth and as a mum with a young baby, with Q&A time in each session for whatever topics interest you. Come though out your pregnancy, from 13 weeks.

Growing Family drop-in sessions, two hour day time sessions with relaxation and breathing activities, questions and discussion on whatever topics are important to the group. Come as many times as you like through your pregnancy. Exclusive and FREE to BCT members.

Happy Birth Day, a 5 hour group course for mothers and fathers focusing on the baby’s birth, what to expect in Switzerland, and resources and skills to have the sort of birth you want.

All classes are held in Basel Stadt. We recommend you register as early as possible as course places are limited and some courses fill up rapidly.
