When Should I Book Antenatal Classes in Peterborough? (A Calm, Simple Guide)
Peterborough & Cambridgeshire Pregnancy Support
If you’ve recently found out you’re pregnant — congratulations! 🎉
One of the big early questions many people ask is:
“When should I book antenatal classes?”
The truth is wonderfully simple:
✨ Whenever you feel ready ✨ — as long as it’s before your baby arrives.
No perfect week.
No rigid timeline.
No pressure.
Just space to choose what works best for you.
So… when should I actually book?
Many people in the UK book their classes at any time between 12–28 weeks.
That’s not a rule — just a common pattern.
You might feel ready early.
You might want to wait until you’re feeling more settled.
You might not even think about classes until much later — and that’s completely fine.
Your pregnancy, your pace.
What if you book early and have questions later?
You’re fully supported.
All my antenatal and hypnobirthing courses include:
Support for the rest of your pregnancy
Three months of postpartum support
So if you take the course early and later think:
“I can’t remember that bit about feeding…”
“Something new has come up at an appointment…”
“I’m suddenly worrying about X…”
—you can contact me any time. You’re never left on your own to figure things out.

Why take an antenatal or hypnobirthing course at all?
A good course helps you feel:
Informed
Prepared
Empowered in your choices
