FAQ's

PRENATAL CLASSES FAQ's:

Q: At what point during my pregnancy should I take a prenatal class?

A: We recommend taking classes in and around the 6-8th month mark in your pregnancy. However anytime you can fit it in around your schedule is fine.

Q: Who can I bring with me to class?

A: Anyone you want! Be it your partner, doula, friend, sister, mother, etc. Typically however women do bring their partner.

Q: What do I need to bring with me to class?

A: If you are taking a weekend class you will get a lunch break, we do suggest you bring a bagged lunch in that case. You may also bring a pen and paper if you wish to take notes and anything else you may need to be comfortable for the day such as a pillow.

Q: How far in advance do I have to pay for my class?

A: Preferably upon registering for the class! We do allow 10 days from the date of registration to get your payment in. We do need to receive full payment within 10 days of registering to secure your spot in the class.

Q: How do I pay for my class?

A: You can pay via e-Transfer online or by cheque or money order made out to MACFE. We apologize but we do not accept cash payments.

A: Yes, cheques for classes can be post dated (but need to be in within the 10 days of registering even if post dated) for no later than 2 weeks before the start of the class.

Q: What if this isn't my first baby should I take prenatal classes?

A: It is totally up to you! If it is one partners first baby and the other partners second or third baby we do still recommend you take our parental classes.
