About ParentLink Classes
Why choose ParentLink?
|
 |
 |
|
 |
| It might seem like all childbirth classes are
the same – it's all about how the baby gets here, right? But there
are enormous differences from one course to
another. ParentLink offers you unexpected advantages! |
|
Top 10 reasons to choose ParentLink childbirth classes:
|
-
The atmosphere is fun, informal, and welcoming –
you won't be playing silly games that make the guys feel they'd rather be
shopping or going to the dentist!
-
Personal attention. Class numbers are kept small so each
class is tailored to what you need, and what your individual
concerns are. No two classes are ever the same.
-
The chance to meet other expectant parents whose babies
are due around the same time. Often, these folks become a wonderful
support network for you – even lifelong friends.
-
You'll learn skills and practical strategies, not just a
list of medical terms. You feel confident and prepared for your
birth.
-
ParentLink classes are engaging – you don't just sit in a
chair and take notes. You learn by doing and by talking things
through in an encouraging and relaxed way.
-
You make your own choices about what's right for you.
This is your birth, your way.
-
An independent take on all sides to an issue. Most
hospital classes can't give you full information because their
teachers are only allowed to discuss those aspects their doctors
feel comfortable with.
-
First-hand insight into birth in Singapore, as your
teachers also work regularly as labour supporters (doulas) in local
hospitals. All Parentlink teachers are
specialists in teaching childbirth classes, holding a Diploma in
Childbirth Education.
-
Focus on evidence-based care. "Evidence-based care" means
the things that are done have been shown to work and be helpful
(such as being upright during labour and birth). Sometimes, there is
no evidence one way or the other, only personal experience or gut
feeling. And sometimes, things are done that are actually known to
be harmful (such as routine episiotomy – the cut to the birth
opening). You'll soon be able to sort out the difference.
-
The book The ParentLink Guide to Having Your Baby in
Singapore. Completely original, written just for parents
like you, and included when you book ParentLink classes.
