Welcoming a baby into the world can feel like an overwhelming challenge! To prepare myself for parenthood, as well as minimise any personal stress, I signed up for the Antenatal Care & Parentcraft Programme at NUH. I’m so glad I did.

The programme is open to all expectant parents in Singapore, whether or not you intend to deliver at NUH.
