    Course Graduate Reviews


    Sarah Mapplebeck

    The passion and dedication of Beth and her team at The Bump to Baby Chapter is what makes these classes so special. As new parents, we had little idea of what to expect from labour, birth, and beyond. The antenatal classes gave us an intimate setting to voice our concerns and get the answers we needed.

    Gemma Ballinghall

    I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Beth for the bump to baby classes. My husband ended up getting so involved asking lots of questions, learning how to put on a nappy, swaddle a baby and we even ended up winning the quiz at the end of the sessions.

    Paul Craddock

    I found the antenatal class to be absolutely fantastic and couldn't recommend them enough. The knowledge I gained during these classes, from learning the basics right up to what to expect during all aspects of the birth was perfect and I can’t recommend Bump to Baby enough, thank you for everything.

    Lottie Kate

    The course was full of information covering topics of labour, induction, baby at home and pain relief options. It was great to cover all aspects even if at the time it didn’t apply to your personal birth plan. I had all the information and tips I needed to feel comfortable and confident.

    Gaynor Robey

    My husband and I absolutely loved Beth’s antenatal classes! She was very informative and made us feel so relaxed and prepared for the arrival of our little one. We loved the fact that she’s a qualified midwife as a lot of her advice was evidence based and current. Loved the fact that she’s a qualified midwife

    Kirsty Davies

    Finished our ante natal classes last Thursday, feeling a lot more prepared and full of a lot more knowledge from the start of labour to looking after a new born!!! 5 stars!!!!

    Sophie Haines

     The courses were really informative and friendly, and helped us have a great birth experience with the babies. My babies remained stable throughout my labour and were never distressed. I relaxed using my Hypnobirthing and the babies were so chilled and happy when they arrived.

    Ashley

    The sessions are relaxed, extremely informative and you leave not only with tools to help you on your way but also with a network of people and support. I would recommend these classes to first time parents.

    • Frequently

    Asked Questions

    What Does The Course Cover?

    Over the 4 evenings, your TBTBC Midwife & course leader, will cover everything from when to go into hospital to what happens when you go home with your baby, and all that’s inbetween.

    She will give you many practical tips to help with your birth but also to help when things don’t go according to plan A.

    At the start of every course your class leader will ask what you would like to know. We do have a rough guide on topics we'd like you to know though. It will go a little something like this...

    1st session

    • Labour Overview from when to go into hospital, signs of labour, to delivering the placenta and postnatal care.

    2nd session

    • Coping strategies for labour, including non-drugs and drugs for pain relief.
    • Induction of labour and naturally starting labour

    3rd session

    • Cesarean Birth
    • Normal appearances of a baby, what’s normal, what’s not.

    4th session

    • Breastfeeding/ Bottle feeding
    • Safe sleeping
    • Bathing
    • Nappy changes, contents of a nappy!
    • Signs of a well-fed baby.

    You’ll get a birth preference list, a hospital bag checklist and other resources that have been specially made by us midwives from TBTBC to help you have a smoother birth in all scenarios. You will get free access to The Birth Chapter online course so that you have all the information at your fingertips after the course has finished.

    Why should I do The Bump to Baby Chapter Antenatal Classes over other courses?

    Over here at The Bump to Baby Chapter, we are all midwives. This means that we are actually caring for women antenatally in pregnancy, during birth or in that immediate time after baby is born.

    Having a midwife running your classes means that you are always getting up to date information about what's currently relevant locally in Cheltenham & Gloucester.

    How Do I Book?

    Find your due month and then click Book Now. This will take you to the payment page. If you'd prefer to apy in installments or have any questions about booking your place, send us an email at hello@thebumptobabychapter.co.uk.

    Can I book on to a group course that's not my due date?

    Yes! The due dates are given as a rough guide. If you think that baby will come early (eg. pregnant with twins)  then you are welcome to book the earlier classes. If you prefer the dates on the course month before or after, that's ok too. Please book whichever course you feel will be most suitable for you.

    I have done The Birth Chapter online course, do I need to do the group classes too?

    If you just want information, then you will have everything you need on the online course. However, doing a face to face group course gives you the option to ask questions real time. Doing group classes also means that you will have the opportunity to meet other parents-to-be who will be able to support you in your pregnancy but also when baby arrives too. They say that the friends you meet at antenatal class become friends for life!
