Childbirth classes on the Sunshine Coast QLD: for men
Expectant fathers are often left out of the conversation when it comes to childbirth education, antenatal classes or prenatal preparation. However, when it comes to the crunch, the boys are expected to play a significant part on the day their baby is born. Unfortunately, no one has prepared men for that role.

After last night I am REALLY excited, even a little nervous about the whole labour thing. But I’m sure we’ll manage, especially now you’ve give me some great tools to arm myself with. Matt, Canberra
Beer + Bubs was so much more than expected. The pace was perfect, the format just right. I really enjoyed talking about birth and babies with other guys and all this from a bloke having his fifth baby! Brett, Sydney
