All About Antenatal Worcestershire

Are you pregnant and looking for a private antenatal course that is an alternative to the traditional NCT or NHS courses? Then look no further!

Hi, I’m Angie! A mum of 2 little ones and your local antenatal teacher offering a fun and impartial antenatal course to expectant parents in Bromsgrove and the surrounding areas.

Being pregnant and becoming a parent, especially for the first time can be so nerve racking because there are so many unknowns. I can help prepare you and your birth partner feel confident with the process of birth, understand your options and know the types of questions to ask to make informed decisions about your birth, when writing your birth preferences and to help your birth partner advocate for you (since they are equally important).

This will make you feel empowered and positive about your birth experience, whichever path it takes.

But that is only half of the course!

The rest of the course will help you transition to your new roles as parents looking at newborn appearance, postpartum recovery, midwife visits, car seat safety, safe sleep advice, relationship changes, ALL infant feeding options, practical baby care sessions and mini first aid. And once the course has finished, I will still be there to support and champion you as you embark on your journey to parenthood.

Groups are intentionally small to ensure you experience a more personalised course. As an ex-high school science teacher, I adapt my sessions and teaching style to best suit my families so each course really is bespoke just for you. It is such a privilege supporting pregnant couples in this way: we have a group WhatsApp chat, a reunion 6 weeks after the birth of the last baby and of course you can contact me any time. 

You may also see me on the postnatal ward of Worcester Royal Hospital, as I am also a breastfeeding support peer volunteer!

The All About Antenatal course won not one, but two awards in the Project Baby Awards 2022, winning gold for maternity services and bronze for family services. More recently, I won the Parent & Baby award for Best Emerging Antenatal Education Provider in Worcestershire 2024!

The grandparents workshop is a 2.5 hour workshop on a Saturday morning once every 3 months. This is for first time grandparents or any family member who may be supporting you and helping with childcare. We discuss ways in which they can support you, the new parents in the lead up to and after your birth, including how they can support you with your breastfeeding journey. I will update your family members on how to make up formula feeds safely, paced bottle feeding, safe sleep and weaning. The session also includes baby CPR taught by Mini First Aid Birmingham.

Grandparents workshop £40 per person.

The starting solids (weaning) workshop is a 2 hour session on a Saturday morning. This is an interactive workshop which is suitable for parents, carers and grandparents with babies approaching 4-6 months in age. Here, I will guide you on the signs your baby is start eating solid foods, how to present food, when to give solids around milk feeds and baby led weaning. You will come away from the workshop feeling excited and confident about how and when to wean your baby.

Starting Solids workshop £25 per person.
