Midwife-Led Support, With Time to Truly Care

Evidence-based guidance so you feel confident and supported.

Here's what we know:

the NHS provides essential maternity care. But appointments are short, and you often leave with unanswered questions.

What happens if labour doesn't go to plan? How do I know my baby's sleeping safely? What does "informed choice" actually mean when I don't know what my options are?

That's the gap we're here to fill.

Baby On Board UK was founded by midwives Amy Gibson and Carly Gudgeon to give families what NHS appointments can't always provide - time, personalised support, and the confidence that comes from really understanding what's ahead.

We serve families across Kent, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, and surrounding areas - and online across the UK. We offer antenatal classes, specialist workshops, and newborn support grounded in real midwifery expertise.

Our Mission – We "Mind the Gap"

Pregnancy isn't just physical. It affects your emotions, your relationship, your entire life. You deserve support that recognizes all of that.

Here's What We Mean by

"Minding the Gap"

NHS maternity services provide structured care, but time constraints mean you might leave appointments with lingering questions or concerns you didn't get to voice.

Baby On Board UK fills that gap. We give you:

More time to talk.

Your questions don't get rushed. We answer everything.

Space to ask anything.

There's no such thing as a silly question here.

Hands-on guidance.

We show you techniques, not just tell you about them.

Partner involvement.

They learn how to actually help, not just be present.

Evidence-based birth education.

We translate medical information into language you can understand and use.

Holistic preparation.

We prepare you for labour, birth, and what comes after - physically, emotionally, practically.

When you leave our classes, you feel fully informed, emotionally supported, and ready. That's what we're here for.

Meet the Founders –

Amy & Carly

Two Midwives with One Shared Purpose

Amy and Carly created Baby On Board UK after years of supporting families within the NHS. They loved their clinical roles, but they kept seeing the same thing - families who needed more than standard antenatal appointments could offer.

They wanted to create a space where families could:

  • Learn at their own pace without feeling rushed

  • Receive one-to-one attention when they need it

  • Understand their choices before they have to make them

  • Gain confidence in decision-making

  • Feel calm and empowered throughout pregnancy

Their combined expertise includes antenatal education, feeding guidance, caesarean birth preparation, newborn sleep, biomechanics for birth, first aid, and family-centred maternity care. They bring decades of senior midwifery experience to every session.

We finally felt confident after our course — it was completely different to larger group classes.

A Personal, Heart-Led Approach

As practising midwives and mothers themselves, Amy and Carly understand how important reassurance and personalised education are. That's not theory for them - it's lived experience.

They approach every session with empathy, clarity, and genuine care. You're not a number to them. You're a family preparing for one of the biggest transitions of your life.

Start with Clarity

Early pregnancy can feel disorienting. There’s information everywhere, yet it's often lacking context.

We help you find your footing.

Through clear, evidence-based guidance and accessible resources, we support families who are:

Early in pregnancy

Beginning to think about birth

Unsure where to start

Feeling overwhelmed by conflicting advice

This stage is about orientation, reassurance, and understanding, helping you feel less lost and more steady.

What Makes Baby On Board UK Different?

There are lots of antenatal classes available across Kent. Here's what makes us different.

100% Midwife-Led Education

Everything we teach is backed by clinical experience, research, and evidence-based practice. You're learning from qualified midwives who've supported thousands of births - not instructors with weekend certifications.

Person-Centred Support

We don't believe in one-size-fits-all antenatal education. We tailor every class to your needs, your birth preferences, and your specific concerns.

Partner-Inclusive Learning

Partners play a crucial role in birth and early parenthood. We teach them clear, practical techniques so they feel confident and involved - not helpless or sidelined.

Holistic + Evidence-Based Approach

We follow national guidelines, but we also include movement, relaxation, emotional wellbeing, and practical newborn care. Birth isn't just medical - we prepare you for all of it.

Local, Accessible & Community-Driven

We serve families across Kent - Tunbridge Wells & Sevenoaks. Our small, welcoming groups help you build connections with other parents in your area. That community matters when you're navigating those early weeks with a newborn.

Support Beyond Birth

Learning doesn't stop at labour. We offer newborn sleep support, breastfeeding preparation, and postpartum guidance. We're here for the whole journey.
