Private antenatal courses

If you can’t make it to a full antenatal course, here is a chance to get the information and support you need in the comfort of your own home, at dates and times to suit you.

If you are not able to make it to a 6 week antenatal course, we also offer one-to-one antenatal classes. These are tailored to your individual needs, and include information and discussion about what happens during labour and birth, breathing and relaxation, feeding your baby, and the realities of life with a new baby.

These classes are held in the comfort of your own home, at a time and date to suit you. Generally, for first time parents, I recommend 2 x 2.5 hour sessions - one to concentrate on labour and birth, and the next to think about caring for and feeding your baby. If you feel you need another session after that, we can arrange that at the time. The cost for these 2 sessions will be £270.00, with an additional travel charge if you are more than 10 miles away.

Alternatively, I can provide private KGHypnobirthing courses at your house or mine. This is a 4 week course, with each session lasting approx. 2.5 hours. It gives you a really thorough understanding of how you can best prepare for labour and approach it feeling calm, confident and ready for anything. The course costs £520.00, with an additional travel charge if you are more than 10 miles away, and includes a copy of Katherine Graves’ The Hypnobirthing Book, a folder of course notes and a KG Hypnobirthing MP3.

Private Breathing for Labour classes are also available at a cost of £54 per hour. There will be an additional travel charge if you are more than 10 miles away.

Please contact Sarah to discuss your requirements for private antenatal classes.

 

Second baby?

You've already had one baby, so why come back for more classes?

If this is your second baby, chances are you've hardly had a chance to consider this birth journey, as you have been so busy looking after your little one. You may also feel that your needs at an antenatal class are slightly different from first time parents, so you don't want to have to attend a course that takes place over several weeks.

Parents attending a refresher class do so because they want to:

  • learn ways to have a better birth experience this time round

  • practice skills for labour such as breathing, massage or relaxation techniques

  • find practical solutions to the challenges of caring for a newborn and another child 

Our individual Second Baby classes are designed to meet these needs.

Held in the comfort of your own home (so you can both attend and don't need to find a babysitter), over the course of 2 hours you will have a chance to:

  • consider your options this time round

  • reflect on your previous experience

  • practice birth skills

  • discuss the challenges of second time parenthood

By working with couples individually, I am able to tailor make each session to the needs of that family. A 2 hour class is £108.00. There will be an additional travel charge if you are more than 10 miles away.
