ESOL for Pregnancy

English language classes to help you communicate with your midwife

Are you pregnant?

  • Do you want to improve your English?

  • Would you like more information about your pregnancy and birth?

  • Would you like to meet other pregnant women in the area?

ESOL for Pregnancy is a friendly English language course for pregnant women living in the Better Start Bradford area. It will help you:

  • Talk to your midwife, doctors and other healthcare staff
  • Get ready for the birth of your baby
  • Make decisions about your pregnancy and birth

 

The course is online with weekly sessions over 6 weeks, led by an ESOL tutor. Support is also available over WhatsApp, text and e-mail – whatever works best for you – and there are videos, enrolment forms and class summaries available in different languages.

You’ll meet other pregnant women from the area and you can ask any questions you might have about your pregnancy and birth.

This project is for pregnant women living in the Better Start Bradford area
