Private 1:1 Online Antenatal Course
A private online antenatal course designed around your questions, your circumstances and the preparation you need most.
About this support
This is a complete antenatal course with dedicated time to focus on you, your questions and the things that matter most to you.
​
Whether you want to understand your options in more depth, have a previous birth experience influencing how you feel or simply prefer learning in a private setting, we can focus on what is most relevant to you.
​
Together, we will cover birth, feeding, newborn care and the early weeks, with plenty of time to ask questions and talk things through.
​
There is no pressure to fit your circumstances into a group discussion or rush past a topic you want to understand better. You have the time and space to explore your options and prepare in a way that feels practical and useful.
Why choose a private antenatal course?
Some parents love the community and shared learning of a group antenatal course. Others feel more comfortable with dedicated time that is focused entirely on them.
​
A private course gives us more time to explore your questions, spend longer on the areas that matter most to you and adapt the sessions around your circumstances and priorities.
​
It may be particularly useful if you have previous experiences or concerns you would like space to discuss, specific questions about your pregnancy or birth, or simply prefer to learn privately and at your own pace.
