Antenatal Programme

Pregnancy is probably the most exciting period in any woman's life. It is a time of happiness and joy. But it will also be a time of great emotional and physical change. Therefore I decided to attend the Antenatal Programme to help understand the changes associated with pregnancy and prepares myself for labour.

Many hospital in Singapore offer this kind of antenatal programme to patient and public. They will encourage couple to start at 16 weeks of pregnancy. In KKH, this programme consists of 9 one-and-a-half hour sessions. One session per week, 6.30pm - 8.15pm for weekday class, 9am-10.45am & 11.15am-1.00pm for Saturday class.
