Expecting Antenatal Classes Avis 

A very well run course with a nice informal feel. The relaxed style encourages you to ask questions without judgment.

I feel much more confident for my journey into becoming a dad.

These were just the most fantastic antenatal classes and quite frankly I’d have been lost without them. You can read all the books you like but nothing can replace the kind of practical advice you get from these midwife led classes.

Ideal for first time mums but I think if I were to have another child I would probably attend again as a refresher and also for the contact with other mum’s to be who are at exactly the same stage of their pregnancy as you. The course leader was excellent at making sure that birth partners/partners/husbands felt completely included with really practical advice on how they can best support mum at the birth and after.

The friends I made at these classes are likely to be lifelong and our little ones growing up together. After you have your babies the course leader arranges a catch up for you all and following on from this we meet up every few weeks. Having my antenatal group was a godsend in the first year after having my baby. It can be very lonely when you’re up every night on your own with a baby, but as we were all going through the same thing it was just the norm to message the group at 3am to let everyone know the baby had just been sick down your back while the hubby snored in bed. You could guarantee within minutes you’d have started a massive group rant on babies feeding habits! Just having someone to share it with in the moment made it funny rather than stressful.

I could not recommend these classes highly enough.

The best thing you could do, as an expecting parent, is to take these classes.
We took part twice.
Once for our first child and then a refresher for our second.
The information you will learn, does so much to alleviate anxiety during labour.
I found myself saying “Freya said....” whenever I started to stress.
There is so much reassurance to be found in these classes.
We both recommended this to any friends who become pregnant, we even gifted someone a membership.

I cannot speak highly enough about these classes, or the Lady who runs them.

Taking these classes is seriously one of the best things you could do!

Freya and her knowledge & experience was amazing! To have an actual midwife sharing all there is to know about childbirth & what to expect was priceless. There were no embarrassing moments and the classes gave me and my hubby the confidence to know how to handle anything in every eventuality. We both tell everyone how amazing the classes! We made some life long friends at the sessions too.
I really can’t recommend these classss enough, i’m positive i owe both of my calm stress free labours to this class!

These classes were so relaxed, we made some good friends. Freya is very understanding and supportive, a much more personal experience to the NHS classes. We highly recommend the Expecting classes, especially at the moment where that personal touch makes all the difference!!

For all expecting parents, this course is a MUST!!! Expecting provides fantastic, informative sessions in preparation for your little one. The sessions allowed us to feel comfortable and put to bed any anxieties we had about our daughters arrival. And being with other couples in the same position allowed us to make some firm friends for life! Sessions were well planned and down to earth, covering the nitty gritty in a relaxed and informal way (plus the weekly homemade cakes were a welcome treat!). The refresher course we had for number 2, was also full of handy tips and hints with the bonus of being held in the comfort of our own home. So if you’re an expecting parent, I would highly recommend these classes!!!
