Antenatal Classes
Here at Bump, Birth, Baby & Beyond, we have created a safe space, providing the knowledge and skills to support parents through pregnancy, labour and the beautiful transition to parenthood. We do this by delivering evidenced based, unbiased information that is facilitated by Sophie, a fully qualified Community Midwife. We use KGHypnobirthing techniques which aims to build confidence of both Mother and birth partner during labour. With the philosophy of "where the mind goes, the body will follow" these techniques are proven to build positivity and calmness in women's ability to birth their baby.
All classes are facilitated in a group setting for yourself and your birth partner, aimed at creating discussion and to enable parents to be create new friendships. However, if 1-1 sessions are desired, this can also be arranged.
Classes are held:
Over 4 weeks, 6pm - 8.30

Full day on a Saturday
You will receive a Bump, Birth, Baby & Beyond course booklet and your very own Hypnobirthing scripts.
