How the programme works

You're pregnant for the first time and feeling overwhelmed by all the information out there

You're worried about how quickly birth can change and want to feel more prepared

You want more than "just trust your body" you want to understand your options

This programme is perfect if...

You had a previous difficult birth experience and want things to feel different this time or planning a VBAC, caesarean, and simply want to feel prepared for all possibilities


You want realistic, supportive birth preparation without fear-based teaching


You want to feel calmer, more informed, and more involved in your experience or your birth partner to feel genuinely confident and useful  not just a bystander

"The goal is not a perfect birth. The goal is walking into birth feeling informed, adaptable, and confident in your ability to navigate whatever happens."

Because that changes birth completely.

5.0 ★★★★★
From course attendees

★★★★★

My wife and I attended antenatal classes here, and the experience was highly informative. From a birthing partner’s perspective, the learning should not be overlooked, I took many of the lessons into our own journey, and they really paid off.

Go in with an open mind. You may not agree with every approach or ideal, but they are presented to challenge your thinking, not to suggest there is only one “right” way. Vicky, who led the sessions, is very open about this.

Highly recommended.

We have now completed both the Antenatal courses and the Baby massage with Beyond the Bump and have loved both. Vicky and Melissa are so friendly and helpful and the information provided during the sessions is non-bias and greatly for first time parents. We have made a great group of friends from our course and can't wait for future play sessions! Would highly recommend
