Whānau Āwhina Plunket- Pregnancy and Parenting Education

Pregnancy and Parenting Education for expectant whānau.


Courses available throughout the year, in the evening and weekends.

Our courses provide evidence-based education for first-time parents about healthy pregnancy, labour, birth, early parenting and caring for a new baby.


We deliver this information in a relaxed and welcoming environment, with evening and weekend course options available.


We can also provide 1:1 education for whānau who may find this more appropriate.


We aim to give expectant parents the knowledge and confidence to make informed choices for themselves and their whānau throughout their pregnancy, childbirth, and parenting journey.


We support whānau to build relationships within the class, so friendships and support networks are established as they become new parent

  • labour & birth
