In person pregnancy and baby classes Edinburgh & Midlothian
Whether you loved or loathed lockdown I think most of us are officially fed up of zoom calls. And I have never needed face to face interaction with people more than when pregnant and then as a new mum. So I can only imagine how rubbish it has been. And actually I don’t have to imagine as you have been telling me!
At almost every newborn photoshoot, new mums and dads have told me how rubbish it has been. How hard it’s been to meet people. To build that elusive village we are all told we need. But how?! How if the one perosn you connected with lives in flipping Scarborough rather than Stockbridge? How to make new mum friends? Where to take your little one as a new Dad when everything seems to be for mums?
Thankfully now (September 2021) many wonderful classes have resumed in person. So I have put together a list of what is available whether you are pregnant or have a new baby. If you know of any other classes in Edinburgh or the Lothians please do let me know so I can add their details!
