Aquanatal Classes

These are held on Wednesday mornings at a local swimming pool. Specially trained independent midwives lead the hour-long sessions. This form of exercise is particularly useful for pregnant women as it facilitates cardio-vascular fitness, muscle strength and flexibility without the load-bearing work for the maternal joints that land based exercise involves. The class is followed by an informal question and answer session with healthy (ish!) refreshments and plenty of time to make new friends.

Our information sheet for aquanatal classes is available here.

Making Sense of Birth Workshops

We offer an exciting, creative way to prepare for the birth of your baby, and to delight in the excitement and joy of becoming parents. Expectant parents are encouraged to discover their own intuitive knowledge, beliefs and expectations surrounding birth and parenting, using a variety of sense based activities which honour the mother, father and baby and their journey to becoming a family.

Bellycasting Service

We come to your house to offer this slightly messy but fun activity. A bellycast is a wonderful way to remember how beautiful your pregnant shape was. The cast is yours to decorate as you and your family like. Why not ask some pregnant friends to your house and have a Bellycasting Party?

Individualised Birth Preparation Sessions

Some couples prefer to consider the journey towards birth in the comfort and privacy of their own home. Sessions can be arranged to suit individual requirements. Many couples value time alone a midwife to consider a Birth Plan.

Please call Purple Walnut Midwife (Liz) on 07986 493 454 or Birthday Presence Midwife (Sarah) on 07720 571 620 for more details and availability.

We offer unhurried home visits from a midwife you can get to know and trust, support as you gain confidence in feeding and caring for your baby and plenty of time for you to explore your thoughts and feelings about your baby's birth. We aim to nurture you, so that you can revel in the delight of your new baby.
