Antenatal Classes

Q: When is the best time to start antenatal classes?

A: Anytime from around 20 weeks of pregnancy is ideal, but it’s never too late. Even if you’re further along, I can offer private or condensed sessions to fit your timeline.

Q: Do you offer private or one-to-one antenatal sessions?

A: Yes, alongside small group courses, I offer private antenatal classes tailored to your needs, either in your own home or online.

Hypnobirthing

Q: Is hypnobirthing only for natural births?

A: Not at all. Hypnobirthing techniques can support all kinds of births, including inductions, caesareans, and assisted births. It’s about helping you feel calm, confident, and in control.

Q: Do I need to be a certain type of person to benefit from hypnobirthing?

A: No — hypnobirthing is for everyone. It’s based on relaxation, breathing, and practical tools you can adapt to your own birth.

Q: Can my birth partner join hypnobirthing classes?

A: Absolutely. Partners are encouraged to join — they learn how to support you and use techniques alongside you.

Breastfeeding Support

Q: Do antenatal classes include breastfeeding information?

A: Yes, I cover the basics of feeding your baby, what’s normal in the early days, and how to know if feeding is going well. I also offer dedicated breastfeeding support if you’d like more in-depth help.

Q: What if breastfeeding doesn’t go to plan?

A: Feeding choices are personal. I provide inclusive support, whether you’re breastfeeding, combination feeding, or using formula. The goal is that you feel confident and supported with whatever works for you and your baby.

Practicalities

Q: Where are your classes held?

A: I teach in venues around Peterborough and nearby towns. I also offer private home visits.

Q: How many people are in a group course?

A: My groups are kept small, usually around 3–6 couples, so there’s plenty of time for discussion and questions.

Q: How do I book a course?

A: You can use the contact form on my website, email me directly, or call/text. I’ll confirm availability and send you all the details to secure your place.
