Antenatal & Pregnancy Questions

When should I start antenatal classes?

Most parents book between 20-28 weeks of pregnancy and attend classes around 30-36 weeks. That timing gives you enough preparation without overwhelming you too early. That said, it's never too early to start learning if you want to feel more prepared sooner.

What topics are covered in antenatal classes?

Our antenatal classes cover labour preparation, pain relief options, birth planning, breathing and relaxation techniques, and partner-inclusive guidance. We also offer specialist workshops on topics like caesarean birth, biomechanics for easier labour, preparing for breastfeeding,first aid and newborn sleep.

Can partners attend antenatal classes?

Yes. All our classes and workshops are partner-inclusive. Partners learn practical techniques, their role during labour, and how to confidently support you through birth and early parenthood.

Are your classes evidence-based?

Absolutely. Our sessions are led by qualified midwives and based on current research and NHS guidelines combined with holistic, family-centred practices.

Do you offer classes for parents with previous birth experiences?

Yes. Our courses work for both first-time parents and those who've had children before. We adapt content to meet your experience and needs. Many second-time parents join us because they want to do things differently this time or want updated guidance.

How can I help my baby sleep better?

We teach safe, gentle, and evidence-based sleep strategies for newborns.

We don't do sleep training for newborns - we teach you what's developmentally normal and how to work with your baby's natural rhythms.

Yes. Our sessions address anxiety, stress, bonding, and confidence during early parenthood. We also provide guidance for connecting with local support networks.
