Help is at hand for young parents-to-be in Keighley.

A free Preparation 4 Parenthood course has been launched at Keighley Healthy Living (KHL).

It is being run by Flora Jennings, KHL’s young person’s health development worker.

She said: “The 12-week programme covers in detail a wide range of subjects such as how to stay healthy during pregnancy, caring for their newborn and how to give babies the best start in life.

“Having a baby can be a very daunting experience and the sessions see couples through pregnancy and beyond.

“We also discuss how the lifestyle choices they make during pregnancy can affect their baby, such as following a nutritional and healthy diet, taking regular exercise, and learning to listen to their bodies.
