Preparing for birth and parenthood can feel overwhelming, especially when you're not quite sure what to expect. In this episode, Dr Rangi is joined by Stefanie Pascolo, clinical midwife at Mercy Perinatal and education midwife with Parent Education at the Mercy Hospital for Women, to demystify parent education classes and explain how they can help you feel informed, confident and prepared for the journey ahead.
Together, Rangi and Stef answer some of the most common questions expectant parents ask, including what parent education actually involves, who teaches the classes, when to book, what you'll learn, and whether your partner or support person can attend. They also explore what makes parent education valuable, how classes are structured, and whether the reality is anything like what you've seen on TV.
Whether you're newly pregnant, deciding if a class is right for you, or simply curious about what to expect, this episode is your practical guide to making the most of parent education and preparing for birth with confidence.
