Pregnancy
Preparing for Childbirth
You will be offered a choice of groups. Some are held at St. Luke’s Hospital and independent childbirth educators run others. We strongly recommend that you book you choice of group as early as possible in your pregnancy as there is a very high demand.
Please contact Ettie on 056 7785296 at St. Luke’s General Hospital Maternity Unit Kilkenny to arrange your public class.
