Antenatal and Postnatal Class Bundles

My wife and I are first time parents and are part way through our 'Essential+ & 4th Trimester' bundle with Louise. We are finding every class very helpful and informative. Louise gives honest and practical advice and always answers all (of the very many) questions we have. The classes are really interactive, inclusive and engaging and Louise has a great sense of humour, which really puts us at ease. We're so pleased that we signed up for the bundle after the first free class. We would definitely recommend her classes to friends and family and are looking forward to the rest of our bundle.

I signed up for the free antenatal zoom class, it was with founder Louise. My partner sat through the class with me and we learned a lot but also enjoyed the tone of the class enough that we decided to also pay for the next class to learn more about labor and delivery. This course was invaluable in providing information as well as piece of mind for the arrival of our first child. Free courses have been absolutely amazing in guiding our learning experience to ensure we are taking courses with instructors that resonate with us. Being laid back, we have walked away from other "loud" or "WOW" factor type atmospheres we found distracting, the Honest Midwife is just a straightforward source that feels like someone you CAN rely on for real, honest, reliable information and understanding of the healthcare system. One thing I really liked was the honest recommendations for follow-on courses based on the multitude of different wants within the classes. She did not tell anyone "oh, it really is best you take all of the sessions" such as knowing that some people KNOW with their situation they will have a cesarean section. She just recommended, if you know yourself take THAT class. Brilliant. These are live classes and their time is just as important as ours, so honest feedback means they aren't sitting through people who don't want to be in the class as well and EVERYONE is getting better questions and understanding.

Just done the first of my antenatal classes with Louise and it was brilliant! Lots of fun but also so informative. I’m looking forwards to the rest of my classes!

Totally brilliant antenatal classes - we bought the full package and feel so reassured, informed and supported by them. Louise was fabulous; funny with a healthy dose of realism, and gave information about all the options, whether bottle or breastfeeding, pain relief etc. without bias or judgement. Other professionals delivered and input into classes too - they were all well chosen. Booking and rearranging was easy, and my husband was able to join from another country, which was great. Would highly recommend, and am tempted to join the first free one again!

There are no NHS antenatal classes in our area and the community midwifery care has been very patchy so we were keen to do some private antenatal classes. We wanted an online format for covid safety and I found LTB&B through Louise's Honest Midwife Instagram account. I was impressed by Louise's knowledge, frankness, & sense of humour so we did the free first class then paid for "The Whole Shebang" bundle. We have loved every class: each one is packed with information and each is delivered in such an engaging way, the time flies by. It's well worth trying that first free class & you'll almost certainly find, as we did, that you're more than happy to pay for more because it's all so interesting & helpful. Our baby is due in the next few weeks, and thanks to LTB&B we are approaching the birth feeling much calmer, and much more informed & prepared. Thanks Louise - you're amazing!

Louise is brilliant, and funny. She gave us so much useful information in a very relaxed way. The class was amazing and I would recommend it to all future first time parents. It will answer many of your questions. In big line, the classes I attended with Louise was about Natural Labour, more precisely the first stage of natural labour and what to expect, when do you need to go to the hospital, what should you pack in your hospital bag.

We have completed several classes and found all of them to be extremely informative and useful. We booked onto several others after completing the Birth and labour part one for free. Louise is really honest with questions and makes the classes really funny and engaging. So pleased that we have decided to do them as we just feel more prepared having better knowledge. Louise also let us rearrange a class without any issues due to having an extra appointment arranged since first booking on. Would 100% recommend for any first time parents.

Labour & birth part 1 was fantastic. So full of information, interactive and Louise is brilliant. She’s funny and enthusiastic whilst being very informative. I would highly recommend this free session. We have already booked on to part 2 and the feeding one. Also looking to do the infant first aid. Thank you Louise. Great value for money in my opinion.

I attended Class 1 - Lets Talk Birth and Baby and Louise was so informative, the class was really helpful especially in helping us to prepare our hospital bag and knowing when to call the midwife / hospital during labour. Thank you Louise!

My partner Lucy and I have done several courses with Louise and they have been absolutely brilliant. Being first time parents it has been reassuring to learn what we are likely to experience towards the end of pregnancy, going into labour and beyond. The Labour and Birth parts 1,2 & 3 and the Infant feeding classes were great and we are both really glad we joined. We really appreciate the openness and honesty that came with these lessons. I think it’s important to know what really happens and the reasons why so there are less surprises along the way. Thank you - we would definitely recommend.

Highly recommend Louise for all your antenatal classes! I’m so glad she was recommended to me by my midwife as every class has given me the reassurance I have needed as a first time mum. My partner and I will definitely be booking postnatal classes after baby’s born. Thank you, Louise.

Highly recommened i done 3 classes the free labour and birth part 1 and then did part 2 and the infant feeding. My knowledge has made me so much more confident and impowered to make decisions as a 1st time mum i had no clue about all the different options avaliable to me. Im so glad i also brought the infant feeding class i found it such a useful class and came away so much more prepared on how to feed my baby.

Louise's classes are very informative and she is really good at communicating and explaining everything, what is important, what to watch out for, etc. She is clearly super experienced, so gives very good advice.

Very refreshing to be able to attend classes where information is shared with you for you to make your own mind up rather than being pushed in a certain way of thinking. Thank you for great fun and informative classes.

We have just completed class 1 with Louise and will definitely be signing up for the rest of her classes! The session was extremely informative and well presented - the best free class we have done by an absolute mile. I am still in my second trimester so still have lots of time as most of her reccomendations were from 34 weeks but I would say it would still be helpful all the way up until labour. Louise answered all questions and I now feel much more confident about labour and delivery.
