You may book antenatal courses for anytime during your pregnancy but to get the most out of the course we suggest attending between 20 weeks and 32 weeks of pregnancy.

If you already have a child or children but this is your first set of twins or more, our Second timers antenatal online course may be more appropriate to help prepare you for when your new babies arrive.
 

Relaxation Add-On

Finding out you are having multiples can be overwhelming and you may feel that your chances of having the beautiful, calm birth you envisaged have flown out of the window. Our Relaxation Add-on session will look at what you can do to have a positive birth whatever the circumstances.

This session is available as an optional addition to the Twins Trust antenatal course as we believe it is important that you have a good understanding of the context of multiple births before attending. 

The additional session costs £30 and can be booked on the Relaxation Add-on event page.


Private Courses

We can also offer private online sessions. Please e-mail if you are interested in arranging a private course. The cost is from £160 for two people for a total of 3 hours; this can be arranged for one 3-hour session or two 1.5-hour sessions.

 

Please note that terms and conditions apply to all courses, particularly if you need to cancel for any reason.
