begin well
Begin Well is a new charity founded by a Health visitor and a Consultant
Obstetrician. Between us we have worked in the NHS for almost 40 years and over
that time have seen the importance of preparing families for the arrival of a
new baby. We have developed an evidence-based antenatal course which equips
parents-to-be for all the changes that occur at the start of family life.
Working alongside volunteers in the South West, Begin Well provides affordable
high quality, evidence-based antenatal classes to pregnant women and their birth
partners. The course takes place over 5 weeks, and covers topics including
Giving Birth and Meeting our Baby, Changes for me and us, our Health and
Wellbeing and Caring for our Baby. There is no charge for the course. Our course
is based on the NHS curriculum and is delivered by church volunteers across
Bristol and Devon. We link parents-to-be with people and resources in their
local community, so after having a baby you are supported through all the
challenges and joy having a baby brings. During Covid-19 we are following
government guidance and all our courses are taking place via zoom to maintain
your safety. Your course will be hosted by volunteers and attended by
parents-to-be from your local area.
