Preparing for parenthood can feel exciting, emotional, and sometimes overwhelming. When you know what to expect during pregnancy, labour, and early parenthood, everything becomes easier and more manageable. Malaak, a trusted name for families in the UAE, offers prenatal dubai classes designed to guide expecting parents with clear, up-to-date, and supportive information. Our antenatal program helps mothers and fathers understand each stage of pregnancy and childbirth so they can welcome their little one with confidence.
Complete Prenatal Support in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
At Malaak, we are proud to provide antenatal classes abu dhabi and Dubai led by the UAE’s well-loved “Baby Whisperer,” Cecile de Scally. With evidence-based knowledge and decades of hands-on experience, Cecile teaches parents everything they need, whether they prefer hypnobirthing, plan a natural delivery, or have a scheduled caesarean section.
Our prenatal course is divided into two parts. This structure allows couples to first understand the birthing process and then learn how to care for their newborn in the early months. Over the years, we have seen how this preparation reduces fear, boosts confidence, and helps parents make informed choices for their growing family.
Learn from a Trusted Expert at Our Prenatal Dubai Workshops
Our lead parent educator, Cecile de Scally, brings over 35 years of experience as a Midwife in both South Africa and the UAE. Her calm teaching style and deep expertise create a warm, safe space for parents to ask questions and learn without pressure.
The classes cover many important topics, including how to prepare for labour, breathing techniques, postnatal recovery, as well as feeding and sleep routines. We recommend joining from around 24 weeks of pregnancy so you have enough time to make informed decisions before your baby’s birth.
All our sessions in Dubai and Abu Dhabi take place on Fridays and Saturdays at the Malaak Baby Center, and we always encourage both Mama and Daddy to attend.
Part I – All About Birth
Part I focuses on helping you understand what happens during labour and delivery. We discuss signs and stages of labour, how to know when early labour begins, and when it is time to go to the hospital. Parents also learn about normal and assisted births, inductions, and medical pain-relief options.
Another important section is “Your Birth, Your Way,” where we guide you through building a birth plan and understanding your birth preferences. We also explain the role of birth partners and teach useful techniques like breathing, massage, relaxation, and acupuncture tips that can support a smoother, more comfortable delivery.
Part II – All About Babies
Part II helps you prepare for life after birth and understand your newborn’s needs. We cover breastfeeding, latching, maternal diet, expressing milk, bottle-feeding, burping, and sterilization. You also learn about baby sleep, safe sleep habits, SIDS, sleep routines, and practical techniques to help your little one rest peacefully.
We also talk about what happens in the hospital, how to track baby weight, cord care, jaundice, circumcision, vaccinations, and general baby hygiene. In addition, we include important topics like car safety, guardianship, wills, and how mothers can care for their bodies and emotions after childbirth. Fathers also learn how they can be active, supportive partners during this phase.
Special Sessions: C-Section and Twins
If you are scheduled for a C-section, our private 2-hour session replaces Part I. In this class, we explain the full procedure, what to expect before and after surgery, recovery tips, potential complications, and details about the type of anaesthesia used. This session is ideal for first-time parents with a planned C-section or second-time parents who want clearer guidance this time.
We also offer a private Twins Session for families expecting two babies. This class covers twin births, NICU expectations, feeding routines, sleep guidance, and what to expect during the first few days.
Private Prenatal Classes for Your Comfort
For families who prefer privacy, Malaak offers private prenatal classes in Dubai, either at our Baby Center or in the comfort of your home.
