Prenatal Classes
Birth Baby Sleep is now offering prenatal classes!
Ashley is a Certified Childbirth Educator, has spent the last 5 years teaching and supporting new families

These classes are currently being offered virtually (live) with an additional optional in-person session (when Public Health protocols allow) in a spacious location in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Dates and times are announced in class.
The plan is to get back to in-person classes when it is safe to do so!
The four class series will be offered throughout the year, starting July 2021.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Do I have to sign up for all the classes?
- No! You can sign up for one, two, three or all four however they fit in your schedule.
When and how long is the optional in-person session?
- The optional, in-person session is offered once a month, usually on a Thursday evening around 6:30-7:30pm. Exact dates and times are discussed in class. It's a 30 minute session to practice different labouring positions and ways to stay comfortable during labour.
Where does the in-person session take place?
Whenever we meet in person, it will be at 6155 North Street in Halifax (CBI Health Centre located in the professional centre above Lawton's Drug Store, Suite 301).
What if we can't attend the in-person session?
- Unfortunate, but no problem! We still discuss the positions in class (virtually) and give you some amazing resources in the form of handouts and videos so you can practice at home and ask questions any time.
What is your refund policy?
- You can cancel your classes any time without penalty up to 2 weeks in advance of your scheduled class. If cancelling within the 2 week period before your class, a 15% admin fee will be applied before your refund.
