Antenatal & Hypnobirthing Classes
Worried about pain,
what might happen
and who will support you?
What will contractions feel like? Will I know when to go to hospital? When do I call the homebirth midwives? What happens if I've got a planned Caesarean? What if I can't cope with the pain? Will my birth partner know what to do?
These are some of the most common worries I hear from parents at the start of my classes.
Less uncertainty. More understanding. Support you can both rely on.
You don't need to become an expert in birth. That's my job. My classes are designed to help you and your birth partner understand what's happening, know what you can do and feel more confident navigating your experience together.
Understand what's happening to your body
Learn how labour begins, what contractions feel like, how birth progresses and what to expect if you're having a planned Caesarean.
Know how to manage pain and discomfort
Explore pain relief, breathing, movement and relaxation techniques, so you know what might help you cope and feel more comfortable.
Give your birth partner a real role
Help your partner understand what to expect, how to support you practically and emotionally, and how to feel involved throughout your experience.
Understand your choices, even if plans change
Explore induction, assisted birth, homebirth and Caesarean birth, so you understand your options and feel more confident making decisions.
Feel supported beyond the birth
Understand what to expect in those early postnatal days, how to navigate common challenges and how you can support each other.

Still have questions?
What if I'm scared of labour pain or worried I won't cope?
You're certainly not alone. We'll explore contractions, your pain relief options and practical techniques to help you manage discomfort. You don't need to be fearless to feel more confident.
What if I don't know what kind of birth I want?
That's absolutely fine. You don't need a birth plan or any decisions made before attending. I'll help you understand your options so you can make choices that feel right for you.
Will my birth partner actually know how to support me?
That's a big part of what we cover! Your partner will learn practical ways to help, what to expect and how to support you emotionally, so they feel involved rather than helpless.
Are the classes suitable if I'm planning a Caesarean or homebirth?
Absolutely. Birth preparation isn't just about vaginal birth. We'll explore different birth experiences, what they involve and how you and your partner can prepare for your own circumstances.
What's the difference between antenatal and hypnobirthing classes?
Antenatal classes focus on understanding birth, your options, pain relief and early parenthood. Hypnobirthing focuses more on managing fear, breathing, relaxation and mindset. Both help you and your partner prepare together.
When should I attend, and what if my baby arrives early?
Most parents attend during their second or third trimester. I'd recommend booking with enough time to practise what you've learned. If you're concerned about your dates, get in touch and we can discuss the most suitable option.
