Hi, I’m Bex 👋
Founder of Grow Mama — antenatal teacher, doula, and mum of two, based in Ripon, North Yorkshire.

Before Grow Mama began I spent years supporting families, and I saw the same issue again and again — parents doing their best, surrounded by advice, yet still feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or alone.

I created Grow Mama because I want parents to feel held — not rushed, not judged, and not left to figure things out alone once the baby arrives.

It’s a space to slow down, ask the questions that really matter, and feel more confident as you step into parenthood — whatever that looks like for you. And to find support not just to get ready for your birth, but for everything that comes after.

If you’re expecting and quietly wondering “Am I ready for this?” — you’re not alone.
And you’d be so welcome at Grow Mama 🤍

You can find full details and upcoming courses via the link in my bio.

Calmer. More confident. Supported. 💕
This is exactly how I want every parent to leave The Grow Mama Course feeling.

No overwhelm. No scare tactics. Just honest information, space to ask questions, and support that continues long after the sessions end.

If you’re expecting this year and want calm, confidence, and connection (not information overload), spaces are open for upcoming courses in Ripon.🤍

Are antenatal classes really worth it?

Because let’s be honest… we’re all watching our pennies right now (mostly as they sprint out of our bank accounts 🥴). Can’t you just Google everything instead?

Well… you could.

But first you need to know what to Google — and you don’t know what you don’t know. Then there’s the minefield of opinions vs evidence, and all those questions you never quite get time to ask at antenatal appointments.

That’s where a good antenatal course comes in (👋 Grow Mama).

We cut through the noise, look at who and what to trust, and help you actually use the information to make informed decisions — so you can feel calm, confident, and prepared for your birth. Vaginal, caesarean, planned, unplanned — it’s all welcome here.

And we don’t stop at birth.

We talk about the after too — when your baby arrives and you suddenly think… what now?!
We practise real-life skills:
🤍 changing nappies
🤍 how to hold a baby, and soothe them when they cry
🤍 understanding what’s normal (and what’s not)
🤍 and absolutely loads more of the stuff that’s going to help you feel like a confident, totally-got-this parent 😁

Plus, you’ll meet other parents-to-be, make genuine connections, and yes — there are very good biscuits 🍪

All of that for £225?
Worth it. 😉

Well I hadn’t planned to run any more courses this summer, but I’ve had a flurry of interest, so I’ve decided to add just one more!

It’ll be on Saturday 20th & 27th July at Sedgefield Parish Hall, and we’ll look at everything from water births to bathing your baby, caesareans to safer sleep! We’ve got you covered for everything you need to know to feel confident, skilled up, and ready to meet your little one. Plus, you’ll meet some lovely friends to travel on this parenting journey with. And we’ve got nice cake 😁

Because, let’s face it - we’re all watching our pennies at the moment (mostly as they’re leaving our bank account 🥴) Are antenatal classes really worth it - can’t you just Google all the info you need?!

Well, you could. But the first hurdle is knowing *what* you need to Google - you don’t know what you don’t know. And then, how do you know which information is reliable? What’s evidence-based, and what’s just someone’s opinion? What about all the questions you’ve got, and never have time in your antenatal appointments to ask your midwife?

A good antenatal course (like Grow Antenatal for example 😁) cuts through all this. We consider *who* and *what* to listen to, and most importantly how to use all of the information to make an informed decision, so you get the birth that’s right *for you*. No matter what type of birth you’re planning or hoping for, we’ll talk about it, share reliable evidence, and help you make a plan to feel calm, confident, and ready.

And then we also think about the *after* - when you get to actually meet your baby, and what on earth you’re meant to do with them. We’ll practise all the stuff that’s going to help you feel confident - how to pick them up, how to calm them when they’re crying, how to change a nappy… and absolutely loads more.

Plus you’ll get to meet some lovely fellow parents-to-be and make some great new friend. And we have the good biscuits. Not bad for £160.

The RVI is an extremely busy maternity unit, which usually offers a lovely birth centre alongside their labour ward. Unfortunately, due to staffing shortages, the birth centre is currently closed - although it is worth ringing to check if it’s open when you go into labour, as it has had short periods of opening over the last few months.

This closure is a huge blow to the region, and it further limits options for women in an area that already has very limited choices for birth. However, I know the midwives on the labour ward are doing their best to support women who wanted to birth in the birth centre, and I’m hearing lots of positive stories about high standards of care, active births being encouraged and supported, and women being listened to and enabled to make informed decisions 👏🏻
