Midwife-led Antenatal courses, Caesarean courses and IBCLC lactation services in Wymondham, Norfolk

Another gorgeous piece of feedback from a lovely family who joined my antenatal course and then reached out for breastfeeding support once their little one arrived. It means so much to know the support I offer makes a real difference 🤍 All of my 5 star reviews can be found on Google Reviews 🌿

Bookings are now open for my next FREE midwife and IBCLC-led Wymondham NEWBORN GROUP which will take place on 1st of September at Wymondham Abbey.
Come along to get free breastfeeding or bottle feeding advice, ask questions about baby care, fourth trimester, learn how to use a sling or just come and enjoy a cuppa and meet other new parents. Partners welcome!
I might not be very active on here right now (or should I say even less active as usual? 🫣), but I’m still around! 🤍
I’ve taken a little step back from running my antenatal courses and newborn groups over the summer so I can spend some much-needed time with my family.
I’ll be back with fresh energy (and hopefully a bit of a tan ☀️) in September, ready for new classes and groups.
In the meantime, I’m still offering breastfeeding support if you need a helping hand – just a heads-up, I’ll be away on holiday next week, so I won’t be available then.
If you’ve messaged me, I promise I haven’t forgotten you – replies might just be a touch slower than usual while I’m in “summer mode” 🍦.
See you soon,

I’m taking some time off over the next week for a much-needed holiday ☀️.
This means I won’t be available for
any breastfeeding support during this time.
If you send me a message, I’ll get back to you once I’m home and caught up – thank you for your patience and understanding 🤍
I am also taking a little break from my antenatal courses and newborn group, both will re-start
1st of September (only 2 spaces left for the September antenatal course; newborn group bookings will open 2 weeks before the session as usual) 🤍
Wishing you all a calm and gentle week ahead, and I look forward to supporting you again soon 🤍

Last call! TWO spaces up for grabs for tomorrow's FREE Newborn group with an IBCLC lactation consultant and midwife Andrea. Breastfeeding support, sling demos, tea, coffee and a room full of friendly new parents and squishy teeny tiny babies 😍
Hiring a doula? Going to postnatal classes? Booking a lactation consultant or a pelvic health physio? Asking for help? These are usually treated like optional extras - and many women feel guilty for even wanting them. If the NHS doesn’t provide it, it feels like we shouldn’t need it.
We rely on a system that is over-stretched, underfunded and doesn’t always provide the level of care and support we need. We don’t always think about investing in things that might really help us during birth or postpartum.
It’s not always about spending more. Sometimes it’s just about choosing differently.
Why not choose to prepare for postpartum like you would for a wedding—thoughtfully, with love, and with the belief that it’s a moment in your life where you deserve to be supported and celebrated 🤍

The Birth Preparation Company - Midwife led antenatal classes & baby massage
Hello, we are Andrea and Jo, two friends who met whilst studying midwifery at the University of East Anglia. After initially working together in a hospital, Jo now works as a community midwife providing all aspects of midwifery care including antenatal and postnatal clinics, home visits and home births, whilst Andrea remains within a hospital setting where she works in all areas of the maternity department, including the Midwife led birthing unit (MLBU), delivery suite, antenatal clinic, both antenatal and postnatal wards, as well as attending home births. Together, we have had the privilege to support countless women and their partners through their pregnancies, labours and births, as well as providing advice and support through the postnatal period.
Our birth preparation classes have been born out of our frustration of frequently meeting couples whose labour, birth and early days with their new baby did not match their expectations, despite having attended antenatal classes. We believe that women have a much better chance of having a positive birth experience if they are prepared for all eventualities, because when it comes to childbirth, things don’t always go to plan. Therefore, we have decided to create birth preparation classes which would offer honest, relevant and up to date information straight from the horse's mouth - no filter, no fluff!
We offer you birth preparation classes with a difference. Run by experienced practising midwives, our courses are relaxed, open, honest and non-judgmental and include everything you need to know for your labour, birth and early days with your baby.
Classes are small enough to allow interaction and space for asking questions, but large enough to enable you to meet other parents with babies due at similar times, giving you the opportunity to create a support network and potentially friends for the years to come.
As well as being a midwife, Andrea is also an IAIM certified baby massage instructor. The International Association of Infant Massage (IAIM) is the largest and longest standing worldwide association solely dedicated to baby massage. Originally founded in the early 1980s, the IAIM became an internationally established organisation in 1992.
Our baby massage courses offer a wonderful opportunity for you to learn how to communicate with your baby through nurturing touch in a relaxed and welcoming environment as well as a great opportunity to get out and socialise with other parents and babies.
In addition to helping you and your baby bond, regular massage may:
Soothe your baby and reduce crying
Aid digestion and help relieve colic, gas and constipation
Help your baby’s adjustment to night time sleep, and help your baby sleep more deeply
Relieve nasal congestion, teething discomfort and growing pains
Boost your baby’s immune system
Improve circulatory and endocrine systems
Help calm and relax both you and your baby
The classes are baby led, so you don’t need to worry if the class coincides with your baby’s sleep or feeding times. Spare dolls are available to practice on if your baby is sleeping.
