​

Going into your pregnancy, birth and fourth trimester fully-informed and supported is incredibly important, and the aim of my 1:1 classes is to help you feel that you fully understand every aspect of your care.

 

I have previously written and lead antenatal classes within the NHS and am excited to be able to share my extensive knowledge with you.

 

​These sessions are individualised for you, dependent upon what you wish to learn and inform yourselves about. Sessions can be tailored for parents, grandparents or even your children and wider family! Why not get a group of pregnant friends together and enjoy the sessions with each other?

​

In my parenting prep sessions, I can offer support and information about the following:

• Birth preparation and writing birth preferences.

• Place of birth – home, birth centres and hospital birth.

• Navigating your maternity care in the NHS from pregnancy to the postnatal period.

• Birth partners – how you can support and advocate for your partner in labour.

• Birth – breathing techniques, massage, the benefits of movement and adopting different positions in labour.

• Pain relief options.

• Birth – vaginal, instrumental and caesarean births.

• Caring for yourself postnatally – physical and mental well-being support and planning your fourth trimester.

• Caring for a newborn – nappy care, cord care, bathing, safer sleeping guidance and reducing the risks of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

• Infant feeding – hand expression, benefits of breastfeeding, formula feeding and making the right choice for you and your family.

• Baby first aid – this is an additional, specialist session with Alpha Complex Training, provided at a discounted cost, teaching you the vital skills for basic life support and first aid for babies and children. 

​​

You will receive a list of topics and from which you can select what is of interest and importance to you. I will then write your personalised antenatal sessions and send you an individualised plan and costings for this.
