Antenatal Education Pregnancy Group

Amma Birth Companions support women and birthing people from migrant backgrounds and other underserved groups in Glasgow during pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood.

Led by an experienced midwife and birth worker and educator, our pregnancy group provides participants with a comprehensive and holistic understanding of how to prepare for birth and life with a new baby. The group is designed to be inclusive, trauma-informed, and accessible to all, incorporating education, food, and community. There is a strong focus on rights and self-advocacy, as well as the more topic-based education such as what to expect from labour and birth, both physiologically and in relation to induction, caesarean sections, and pain relief.

To remove barriers to participation, we provide travel expenses and childcare, and use multilingual resources, visual aids, and interpreter support as needed.
