Little Seeds Classes

Little Seeds Classes Midwife led Antenatal Classes and Baby & Child First Aid Classes Groups of 4+ couples are held at The Mill Birth and Wellbeing Centre, Duddington.

I am an experienced midwife offering private antenatal classes that cover Oundle, Stamford, Peterborough and the surrounding villages. Each course consists of a set of 4 consecutive Wednesday evenings from 6.30pm till 8.30pm, on alternate months throughout each year - January, March, May, July, September, November. Smaller groups may be held at my home in Tansor. Week 1
Welcome; what you need to know in the final weeks of your pregnancy; the different stages of labour and how to enable your body to work at its optimum; the important roles of the birth partner; the 'golden hour' after the birth of your baby

Week 2
All the options available to you to help manage the contractions - from the use of water through to epidurals, along with the possible pros and cons of each, so that you can make informed choices about your birth. Plus, a brief overview of special circumstances, such as assisted births and caesarian sections

Week 3
All you need to know about newborn feeding

Week 4
Caring for your newborn baby - as your baby adjusts to a very different world outside of the womb. This includes safe sleep, bathing your baby and understanding/responding to your baby's needs. The transition to parenthood - practical and emotional aspects to consider to promote your wellbeing

Contact with other expectant couples within your group is facilitated if your consent is given. Homemade cakes half-way through each session provides an opportunity for interaction with your group and mutual support. My heart is to reduce fear in childbirth and to provide a firm foundation as you transition to a new family. Little Seeds provides practical, simple, sound information and 'tools' to equip you for a positive, calm, well informed labour, birth and journey into parenthood. Cost for expectant lady and partner/birth companion: £220
(Payable on booking, non-refundable unless special circumstances prevail)

✨ New Venue | New Beginnings ✨

My next set of Little Seeds Antenatal Classes starts in just 5 weeks, on Wednesday 3rd September, at the beautiful Fotheringhay Village Hall. 🌿

These friendly and informative classes are ideal for expectant parents with babies due mid-October to mid-December. Whether it’s your first baby or your fourth, every birth and parenting journey deserves dedicated, compassionate support.

I’m a midwife with 37 years of NHS experience, and I’m passionate about helping couples feel calm, confident and prepared for birth and those precious early weeks of parenthood.

Here’s what one lovely couple from my May group had to say:

“We found online information overwhelming and sometimes conflicting. Alison provided everything clearly and calmly, helping us feel prepared and confident. She doesn’t tell you what’s 'best'—she gives you all the information so you can decide what’s best for you and your baby.
We’re so grateful. Her classes made the birth and first month with our daughter far calmer and more settled.”
— Charlie, James & Baby Imogen
