What a birth educator does
Birth educators run antenatal classes covering labour, pain relief options, interventions, caesarean birth, feeding and the early weeks. Independent courses tend to go further into decision-making than hospital classes do.
Most people book in the second trimester for classes in the third, because good courses fill early. That timing is worth knowing about before it becomes a rush.
Referrals, fees and Medicare
You can book directly.
Independent courses are paid privately. Hospital classes are often free or low cost in the public system, and some health funds contribute through extras.
