Structure

BabyStepsGp is a 3 step course, designed by myself, to walk you through the pregnancy, labour and early parenthood journey

  • This structure teaches the most useful and essential topics for each step
  • There is a relaxed yet informative style to teaching with lots of interaction
  • There is always time and flexibility for questions and tailoring to individual needs

Content

Comprehensive and relevant content in all steps

  • Covers fundamentals of pregnancy health, modes of delivery, pain relief, maternal health and newborn well-being
  • Includes practical tips around buying for baby, packing hospital bags and how to make partners more inclusive
  • Focus on mental health and well-being throughout
  • Additional in depth learning on what to expect when baby arrives, how to navigate common newborn health concerns like colic and reflux and tips to manage maternal recovery and complications like breast engorgement

Practicalities

Two unhurried sessions, plus a relaxed social session

  • 3 step course delivered over 2 sessions of 3 hours each
  • Sessions include short refreshment break with socialising time
  • small groups to allow personalisation and tailoring yet chance for networking and friendships
  • If a course falls on a weekday and you’re employed, you’re usually entitled to paid time off to attend. Partners’ rights are more limited, so it’s worth checking with your employer (see FAQs for guidance on this)

BabyStepsGp Inspiration

In my experience, attending a 5 week evening class after a days work while pregnant and tired was not the ideal way to learn or enjoy. The content delivered in no way prepared me for the journey ahead and left me with so many unanswered questions that seemed so critical to my survival as a new mum. The course teaching also seemed to end once baby had arrived without considering the need (and want) to keep the baby alive once home

BabyStepsGp is designed for both parents to attend to walk you through all important topics and your individual fears. Both partners can learn practical tips as well as important steps to manage your mental health and feel included throughout the journey, which is a common difficulty for non-birthing partners.

The class is fully face to face (unless requested otherwise), with small groups to allow tailoring of information with a sensitive and intimate approach while forming strong and essential friendships withing the group

Smaller, 1 to 1 and remote classes can be arranged to cover the full course or specific knowledge areas, with timing of these flexible to individual schedules. These classes can cover more sensitive issues sich as anxiety, birth trauma, post-pregnancy health and parental challenges. We can also cover specific medical needs

I am very passionate about delivering an excellent program but also a great level of care and support. I’m thus contactable throughout and after the course to all clients. Most importantly I LOVE to receive messages when your baby arrives safely and feedback on what you have learnt to help me continually improve BabyStepsGp
