What You’ll Learn

This five-week antenatal course gives you the knowledge, confidence, and practical tools you need for birth and beyond. Each week covers a key area of pregnancy and birth, with time to ask questions, share experiences, and connect with others.

You’ll learn about:

    •    The stages of labour — what’s happening in your body and how to recognise the signs

    •    Pain relief options — from natural coping techniques to medical choices

    •    Your birth rights and options — so you feel informed and in control

    •    The role of your birth partner — how they can confidently support you throughout labour

    •    What happens after birth — early bonding, newborn care, and recovery

    •    Feeding your baby — with realistic, evidence-based guidance on breastfeeding

As an independent antenatal teacher, I have the flexibility to tailor sessions to what’s most important to you. If there’s something you’d like more time on, or a topic you’d love to explore in depth, we can adapt the sessions to meet your needs.

Each session is practical, relaxed, and judgment-free. You’ll leave each week feeling more confident, with tools and techniques you can actually use.

Why This Course Matters

Maternity services are wonderful but stretched — meaning you might not always get the time or information you deserve. This antenatal course gives you dedicated space to prepare properly, learn at your own pace, and build confidence in your decisions.

You’ll also meet other local parents-to-be, creating friendships that often last well beyond birth. You’re not just joining a class — you’re joining a supportive community.

What Makes My Classes Different

I’m Alice, a FEDANT-accredited antenatal educator and hypnobirthing instructor based in Peterborough. My own birth experience left me feeling let down and uninformed — and that’s exactly what drives my passion for helping others feel supported, confident, and ready.

My classes are upbeat, open, and down-to-earth. I’ll never bombard you with jargon or push an agenda — it’s all about giving you the information and tools you need to make choices that feel right for you.

Everyone leaves my course with practical tools to use in labour, knowledge of your rights and options, and a newfound sense of confidence. Plus, you’ll get a little goody bag packed with useful treats and resources to take home.

What You’ll Walk Away With

By the end of the course, you’ll feel:

    •    Calm, confident, and prepared for labour

    •    Informed about your birth options and rights

    •    Equipped with relaxation and breathing techniques

    •    Supported by a community of local parents

    •    Ready to navigate early parenthood with confidence
