Private & Personalised Antenatal Education, Tailored to You
One-to-one time with an experienced midwife to help you:
Understand your body, choices, and birth journey
Gain confidence and clarity for labour and birth
Learn practical tools you can actually use
Include your partner and build shared understanding
Whether you’re seeking deeper discussion than group classes, have specific concerns, or want personalised guidance, this session is designed around you and your needs.
Every pregnancy is unique, and every family has different needs, preferences, and expectations.
At Baby On Board UK, we understand that some parents prefer a more tailored, one-to-one learning experience rather than traditional group classes. Our private and personalised antenatal education is designed to provide you with the guidance, confidence, and support you need to prepare for birth and early parenthood.
Led by expert midwives Amy Gibson and Carly Gudgeon, our private classes combine evidence-based clinical knowledge with a warm, nurturing approach. We focus on empowering families to make informed choices while addressing their individual concerns and birth preferences. Whether you are a first-time parent, have a previous birth experience, or want an in-depth focus on certain topics, our private antenatal sessions are designed just for you.
