| NHS Antenatal Courses | Bump2baby Reality Antenatal Courses |
|---|---|
| Bump2baby Reality classes cover:
|
| You may get the opportunity to get to know other mums and dads-to-be in the class | Because our classes typically last longer (12.5 hours) than the NHS classes, prospective parents more often form lasting friendships. This is important to bear in mind if the social aspect is important to you when choosing between different classes. |
| The NHS classes can be anything from a single 2-hour session to a series of classes over several weeks. Hospitals tend to arrange and fund the NHS classes themselves and so the set-up of the classes can vary between different areas. Ask your midwife what’s available. | Our courses are facilitated over 12.5 hours. This is usually split across 5 sessions held weekly, giving plenty of opportunity to get to know others on the course and help build lasting friendships. We bring together a wider local network of expectant and new parents. |
| Discuss options of where and how to give birth | Choice of place of birth is discussed in all courses PLUS what options are available to you in your chosen birth setting. Consultant Unit, Midwifery Led Unit and Homebirth |
| Find out what your local NHS hospital offers in terms of pain relief | Understand the advantages and disadvantages of different forms of pain relief and understand what each unit offers, enabling you to make the right choices for you and your baby. |
| You may get a tour of the maternity unit or this may be organised separately | We inform you about the services available at your local unit and encourage you to book a tour wherever possible. |
| No fee for NHS classes | Our 12.5 hour antenatal courses are £225.00 which covers the birthing parent and partner/birth supporter. We offer group and 1-2-1 antenatal preparation |
| NHS Classes are usually facilitated by midwives | Our classes are facilitated by local experienced Birth Practitioners. Our Antenatal and Hypnobirthing Educators have NHS healthcare backgrounds in midwifery, health visiting, nursing and obstetrics. And real life experience as parents themselves! |
