    Hey

    I'm Beth

    Mother of 4, midwife, self confessed birth nerd and creator of The Bump to Baby Chapter.

    I had my first baby at 19 years, I started my midwifery training in 2010, started working as a qualified midwife for the NHS in 2014 and then continued to grow my family. That's over 14 years of either helping women in pregnancy and supporting them giving birth or experiencing it myself.

    What is?

    The Bump to Baby Chapter

    The Bump to Baby Chapter is a company that provides education from midwives from bump, to birth, to baby for pregnant women and their partners. The goal being to make sure that you are feeling confident, calm and ready for birth with evidence-based advice to stack the odds in your favour for a great birth.

    Established in 2016 teaching antenatal classes and hypnobirthing to local parents-to-be in Gloucestershire. The Bump to Baby Chapter now has gone global with tens of thousands of women accessing the online courses across the world.

    The Bump to Baby Chapter offers group antenatal classes in Cheltenham & Gloucester, with a hypnobirthing twist, as well as an online education service where you can prepare for birth and baby with the online courses.

    Why?

    Not enough support and too much judgement

    I'm a big believer that birth isn't just a means to an end. It's the mark of the end of a pregnancy and the start of being a mother.

    You will always remember the day you give birth and how it makes you feel.

    It is your stepping stone into motherhood and can shape your experience of early motherhood and your relationship with your baby.

    Birth isn't just about one day. Birth matters.

    Yet, the support out there is lacking.

    The private antenatal education and hypnobirthing scene is filled to the brim with duff advice and opinions over evidence based advice. You can train to be a birth teacher with just a 3 day course, without even having supported a single woman in labour. That for me, just isn't enough.

    Made classes and content...

    I wanted this to change. I wanted you to have impartial, evidence-based, non-judgemental advice about birth prep so that if your birth preference is to have an elective cesarean, a water birth, an epidural or an intervention-free birth you feel supported and prepared in the best way possible. I want women who have more of a complex pregnancy to have just as many options as others.

    Who better than to prepare you for this than a team of midwives who care for women in all these different situations regularly. We also know that birth plans can change and we want you to feel prepared for that too.
