InHale - Antenatal & Baby Classes - Nottingham & Grantham

So sad to see this. I really hope it is a very temporary measure.

Pause of births and inpatient postnatal care at St Mary’s Birth Centre, Melton Mowbray

From 7 July 2025, births and inpatient postnatal care at St Mary’s Birth Centre in Melton Mowbray will be paused due to safe staffing challenges and low birth numbers.

💬 Community antenatal and postnatal care will continue

🏡 Our home birth team is still available

🏥 Midwifery-led care also continues at the Leicester Royal Infirmary and the Leicester General Hospital

We are contacting those directly affected to discuss alternative care arrangements and are supporting all impacted staff.

Detailed work with partners to determine next steps will now take place and is likely to take up to six months.

Hayley, Did you need a new speaker for your Antenatal & Baby classes?

No, I didn't 🤭, although in my defense my current speaker has been through a lot in the past 11 years 😬.
But how could I not be influenced to buy a new speaker? Not only because it produces a great sound and is robust enough to face anything the babies can throw at it... But mostly because it is in my brand colours 😍🤩

What has been your most recent impulse buy?

In 2017 this was the day my Wriggly Daisies pirate ship inflatable was delivered. My kids absolutely loved testing it out for hours.
I can't believe that it is still going strong in my baby classes 8 years later.

You know you are an Antenatal teacher when....
..Your kitchen sink looks like a hot tub party in the morning.

Last night was week 5 of my comprehensive Birth to Baby course. We moved on from all things birth to all things newborn and we were having fun bathing, dressing, grooming and changing the babies before getting them ready for bed.

As well as taking part in this session during the full 6 week course. You can also join this and my infant feeding class by booking them as stand alone workshops. This is especially useful if you have already had your birth education elsewhere or if you want a quick refresh of these skills if this isn't your first baby.

I have another Birth to Baby course coming up on the 16th April perfect for those late may to late July due dates.
I have an infant feeding workshop next Wednesday where you can learn all things breast, bottle & formula feeding.
And my next Newborn workshop, to play with this little baby gang and their friends is on 14th May

I also have pregnancy yoga classes that can be booked as a block or on a pay per session basis in both Nottinghamshire and Grantham.

And a range of friendly, supportive baby classes each week if your little one is already here.

I still adore this picture of my daughter at 11 days old on this day in 2013.
I think the screaming was in protest to the headband - she has never appreciated the way I dressed her 😁.

What are your favourite baby photos?

On Thursday our two Wriggly Daisies baby classes in Upper Saxondale took us from the frozen tundra to the African savanna.

If you could be magically transported to these real life locations, which one would you choose?
