A calm, personal, midwife-led approach to pregnancy and early parenthood — designed to help you feel confident, supported and truly prepared. Not just informed.

Real NHS midwives sharing practical, evidence-based guidance — not facilitators or scripted sessions.

No lecture rooms or big classes. Just relaxed, friendly spaces where you can ask anything and feel heard.

Every family is different. We make space for your concerns, your choices and your birth plans.

Practical, real-life preparation
Hands-on tools, coping strategies and honest conversations — not information overload.

We’re here beyond the session too. Support doesn’t stop when the class ends.

You’ll leave feeling clearer, calmer and more in control — not overwhelmed.

You’re pregnant.
You might feel excited, overwhelmed, unsure, or all three at once.
You’re being looked after by the NHS, but appointments are short. Questions build up. Decisions feel rushed. And sometimes, you leave feeling more uncertain than reassured.
That’s where Baby On Board UK comes in.
Founded by experienced midwives Amy Gibson and Carly Gudgeon, Baby On Board exists to bridge the gap between NHS maternity care and the support families actually need: time, explanation, continuity, and calm.
We don’t replace NHS care.
We support you alongside it, helping you feel informed, confident, and grounded as you move from pregnancy into early parenthood.
This isn’t just about classes.
It’s about guidance through change.
A Pregnancy-to-Parenthood Journey
Baby On Board is built around one core belief:
When parents feel informed, supported, and listened to, everything feels more manageable.
That’s why our work follows a clear pathway, meeting you where you are, and supporting you as your needs evolve.

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