What do One Mama Midwife Antenatal Classes Cover?

Antenatal Class Benefits

Research shows that independent, evidence-based antenatal classes can reduce fear, anxiety, interventions and postpartum post traumatic stress disorder. Fear during labour can negatively impact your mental state, slow the progress of your labour, lead to more operative births and increase the rates of negative birth experiences (Gün Kakaşçı, et al., 2023).

Furthermore, attending Antenatal Classes has been shown to increase self-confidence in the labour room as well as in the postpartum period (Gün Kakaşçı, et al., 2023).

Reviews

  • “When my midwife suggested we look at doing an antenatal class, I was very hesitant. I didn't want to sit in a room with strangers and feel like clinical information was being shoved in my face, let alone watch an old school birthing video. But then a suggested post appeared on my social media feed of the One Mama Midwife antenatal class and it looked a thousand times more inviting than a class at the hospital. Lauren was incredibly informative, open minded and not even slightly pushy towards any birthing options. She has a warm and gentle nature which makes for a comfortable atmosphere where you can ask any question that you want, without feeling silly. The space itself felt welcoming, and the small number of people in the room made it feel more intimate and relaxing and less like a class. I walked away from the One Mama Midwife antenatal class feeling much more prepared for my journey and my partner did too. I couldn't recommend Lauren and her class any higher. If you're looking to do any class before giving birth.. THIS IS THE ONE!”

  • “10/10 recommend! Loved your birth class and just your general vibe. My husband and I learnt a lot of you in the class and I loved seeing him change a nappy for the first time 😊 will always remember this class and look back on it.Thanks Lauren 👍😊.”

    Laura

  • "My partner and I just completed our course with Lauren and couldn’t be happier that we decided to do this! We both left feeling informed and empowered, my partner now feels as though he has an important role (which he does) and we both feel like we have all the resources and education we need to have a positive birth experience. I can’t recommend this course enough, we learnt so much. Lauren was just amazing, so knowledgeable and approachable and I can’t wait to use all the tools we’ve learn during my birth. Thank you so much!!"

    Stephanie

  • "Lauren is so knowledgeable and kind. The One Mama Midwife Antenatal class was the perfect course to prepare my husband and I for baby number two. After a fairly awful first birth, I now feel confident and empowered to have a positive birth experience second time around. Thank you, Lauren!"

    Beth

  • "So so thankful to have found Lauren from One Mama Midwife during my first pregnancy! I learned so so much from her and felt the knowledge she shared was so practical and not only from her experience as a midwife but from being a mumma also! Her birth comb never left my hand during labour and her ebook helped me feel so informed about everything from pregnancy right through to when bub arrives! Honestly an amazing resource for any mumma or mumma to be!"

    Ashlee

  • "Lauren is amazing at what she does! She is so knowledgeable and has such a warm, friendly and welcoming approach that makes you feel so comfortable the whole way throughout the classes. Her products are not only perfect for labour and birth but also super cute to look at 😍😍"
