Train as an Antenatal Educator
What is an Antenatal Educator
An Antenatal Educator is a supportive professional who helps individuals navigate the physical, emotional and psychological journey from pregnancy, labour and birth.
An Antenatal Educator offers non-medical, holistic and emotional support during this stage of life.
Emotional Support
Supporting Emotional and Mental Wellness
• Stress management: Educators teach breathing, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques to manage anxiety or fear about birth.
• Encouraging self-care: They help parents build routines that include “me time,” positive affirmations, and emotional awareness.
• Partner support: Educators involve partners in emotional wellbeing discussions, teaching ways to communicate and support each other.
Education and Information
Providing Evidence-Based Information
• They give accurate, unbiased information about pregnancy, birth, and newborn care, empowering parents to make informed lifestyle decisions.
• This reduces misinformation and builds confidence, leading to better mental and physical health outcomes.
Lifestyle & Wellness
Promoting Healthy Lifestyle Choices
• Nutrition guidance: Educators discuss balanced diets, essential nutrients in pregnancy, and how food affects energy, growth, and emotional wellbeing.
• Physical activity: They encourage safe exercise (like walking, swimming, or prenatal yoga) and explain how movement supports strength, posture, and birth preparation.
• Sleep and rest: Teaching parents the importance of good rest, relaxation, and healthy sleep habits.
Advocacy & Medical Navigation
Building Confidence and Resilience
• By helping parents understand their changing bodies and emotions, antenatal educators build self-trust and resilience.
• Confident, informed parents are more likely to maintain a balanced lifestyle and adapt well after birth.
Community & Connection
Supporting Inclusivity and Access
• They work to make antenatal education accessible for all—regardless of background, income, or culture.
• Some run free or low-cost classes, or tailor sessions for specific groups (e.g. teen parents, refugees, or single mothers).
• This inclusivity builds stronger, more connected communities.
Support
Encouraging Healthy Habits for Long-Term Family Wellness
• Discussing the importance of avoiding harmful substances (alcohol, smoking, drugs).
• Promoting positive routines that carry into parenthood—like cooking together, walking outdoors, or attending wellness classes.
• Supporting continuity of care by connecting families with midwives, doulas, or wellness professionals.
