Antenatal Courses

It was nice meeting other couples who were due babies at the same time as us. All the lessons were very informative and detailed. We also enjoyed the Percy Pigs 🙂

We really liked the fact there were guest speakers who could provide expert information on such a range of subjects. In particular it was great to hear lived experience from Amy and Brad and we really liked the format with Jane interviewing.

Jane is a wonderful midwife, she brings empathy and deep knowledge to her work. At the birth of our first child, her light touch and understanding helped me greatly in my first steps as a father.

All of the information was given in a clear and fun way, no two sessions ever felt the same and all of the information was super helpful to ease the minds of first time parents going in to the unknown! There was plenty of interactive elements as well which helped break up some of the more in depth material, which was great fun!

The overall friendly and relaxed atmosphere helped us settle in. Jane and Sharon were so approachable and down to earth. It felt like we got to know them quite quickly and they knew us too, which also meant we felt comfortable asking questions. We really appreciated having such experienced midwives delivering the course, and with local knowledge.

We liked the anatomy models and practical demonstrations …e.g. turtle neck jumper. They will definitely help me remember what was being talked about!

Jane is a warm and compassionate person. Her knowledge around pregnancy and childbirth, and experience in facilitation to healthcare professionals makes her the perfect person for guiding your pregnancy journey and childbirth plans. She is a huge advocate for safe practices and empowering women and their birthing choices.

Sharon's dedication to excellence is evident in the high level of admiration and respect shown to her from her midwifery team, obstetric, and support staff. They appreciate her leadership, support, caring nature, and extensive midwifery knowledge.

Jane and Sharon are by far an asset to the course. Very approachable. To sum up Jane in one word it would have to be passionate and to do the same for Sharon, extremely professional which gets a lot of respect from us as too often it feels that many people do a job for the sake of it with no care about it

Having Jen as a guest speaker believe it or not was like having my mum stand up and talk with regards to the language she used and her blunt, to the point mannerisms. Perfect! Sometimes things just need to be said as they are.

Jane is an experienced midwife who promotes the highest standard of midwifery care. She is a wonderful communicator and able to share her knowledge in fun, enthusiastic, imaginative and engaging ways.

Sharon is a pleasure to work with and one of the kindest individuals I know. All the women she has cared for were so fortunate to have her as their midwife.

You cannot fault the energy, knowledge, passion, dedication and professionalism between Jane and Sharon. There was no comparison between this course and the NHS course whatsoever, especially when the NHS course simply stated 'we don't need to know about the physiology of birth,' and skipped over it. This part of the course was another strength and is indeed VERY important in our eyes as the more you understand your body, the less anxious you are.

Sharon is inspiring professionally and practically, treating people with kindness and respect. She is a positive role model that always strives to give the highest standard of care and make a difference to every woman's childbirth experience.

Thank you both so much! We really enjoyed the classes all the information was so valuable. The sessions were made so enjoyable. It was really great to have the guest speakers come in too as they covered topics that we perhaps hadn't given much thought to. Overall we now feel so much more relaxed going forward knowing we have so much more knowledge under our belts.

Thanks for all the reassurance you both gave me on the course. The birth in the end was beyond perfect and not even worth the anxiety I had. I ended up really enjoying the experience.

We put off booking antenatal class for so long as most felt quite commercial and prescriptive. We’re so glad we held out for Midwives for Mothers as we couldn’t have felt more looked after. Everything was pitched at the right level, so not to feel too overwhelming or too much to take in at once, as well as keeping it fun and lighthearted. We both feel as well-equipped as we can be, as well as meeting some lovely other couples.

Brilliant, just BRILLIANT!. Both Sharon and Jane were great. Highly recommended.

Thank you very much for providing such an informative, yet fun and supportive class! We both feel more ready now and informed going in to the birth of our little boy. You made us feel like no question was silly and supportive throughout. We will 100% be recommending you to friends. You have put in a lot of hard work and we appreciate it. Thank you!

Thank you so much Jane and Sharon and all the powerhouse women who came in to teach us. We loved the chance to learn from such passionate people, and connect with other parents to be!!

Thank you so much Jane and Sharon!! It’s honestly been such interesting and informative sessions. I feel much more prepared going into the last 2 months of pregnancy! Good luck to everyone in the next couple of months and can’t wait to meet up with the babies 

A huge thank you again Jane and Sharon! We have both learnt so much and will be forever grateful for everything you’ve taught us from labour to caring for our newborn. It was also lovely to meet everyone and I can’t wait to see all the little ones.

There was a good variety of topics covered, and you have lots of opportunities to speak up and ask easy questions. It was really nice to hear other couples thoughts and concerns as it makes you feel comforted to know we all felt the same and are experiencing this for the first time.

Jane and Sharon made it fun and light hearted, but at the same time really informative and they constantly reassure you and help you to have confidence in yourself. Each session had a focus, what we were learning each week was explained in an easy way to understand.
