100% of respondents said they would recommend our antenatal live online course.
Being solely dedicated to twins was so helpful because it is completely glossed over in other antenatal classes. It gave a fair and realistic representation of life with twins. The content and notes we received at the end of the course were above and beyond what we expected! Donna was a great teacher and always gave a balanced view on all topics that were being discussed.
