Free Early Pregnancy Class

Your Chance to Prepare for Parenthood

FAQ

  • What if I can’t make it to a session?

    We will do our best to catch up with you before the next session, or arrange for you to come a little early to the next session for a 1-1 catch up, we will also send you any materials you might have missed.

  • Do I need to bring anything?

    Whatever will make you most comfortable, a birthing ball if that’s what’s most comfortable for you to sit on, a bean bag, a sleeping bag….anything! Sometimes pregnancy can make us a little uncomfortable, so whatever makes you feel more at ease or lessens any discomfort you might be feeling.

  • Will there be a social element?

    Yes! There’s plenty of time to get to know the others in your group and we will set up a whatsapp group so you can all support each other from pregnancy to birth and beyond! We also have a reunion session that is completely an informal and social event when your little ones are…….????

  • Will my partner be welcome?

    Of course! We pride ourselves on ensuring that birth partners, in whatever capacity, are welcome; we ensure that they are included in the course and are involved in each session, they are an important part of pregnancy, birth and beyond and we ensure that they get as much out of the sessions as the birthing people.
