NICE guidance shows that good antenatal preparation helps parents feel calmer, more confident, and ready for a more positive birth experience.

Our 6-week antenatal course (plus a free reunion session with babies!) is designed to give you realistic, empowering preparation for birth and beyond. You will find a supportive, welcoming space here.

This isn’t just another pregnancy class — it’s a positive community where you’ll feel calm, informed, and zero judgement, zero jargon.

Every type of birth and feeding journey is respected.

Sessions are interactive, personable, and fun, with both the birthing person and their partner included.
