Antenatal classes can help mums to be and their partners to prepare for labour, birth and early parenthood.

These classes also offer the possibility to meet other parents-to-be during the sessions for mutual support and friendship.

York is the first city in England to abandon the traditional group antenatal classes.

The reason given for taking this vital service away from pregnant women is it was better suited to women's lives.

If you think that YOU should be the one entitled to decide what is best for your life, then sign this petition today and help bring back the antenatal classes in York.
