Refresher Antenatal Classes
Happy Parents, again!
This course is ideal for second or subsequent time parents who are looking to refresh their knowledge, debrief on previous birth experiences, prepare older children or make new friends.
It’s perfect for those that have had babies in the last 3 years and would like a refresher. If you have a larger age gap or if one parent is a first time parent, the in-person or live-online course may be more suitable.
Our classes include:
- Live online refresher sessions with our team of specialists
- Online portal of videos, notes, printable documents, and hypnobirthing MP3s
- Session recordings, so no need to find a babysitter!
- Option to add social package for just £25
Social package explained (available in areas with in-person courses)
- Meet other local parents-to-be, due at a similar time, who are attending the in-person course
- Join the WhatsApp group and two social sessions
- Please note, we can’t guarantee there will always be second time parents, but it’s a great way to meet a new group of friends
All this for £69 or £94 with social add on - see course dates below

FAQs
Are birth partners included in the course cost?
Absolutely! Birth partners play a really important role, so we encourage them to watch the content on the course portal with you and also join the live Q&A sessions.
When will I get access to the course portal?
Do I need to watch the videos on the portal before the Q&A session?
Yes, we would recommend watching the videos in the portal before your Q&A. No new content is covered is the Q&A sessions

What are the 2 socials within the social add on?
If you book the social add on as part of your course, you will be invited to a social local to you before your baby is due.
PLEASE NOTE THAT NOT ALL LOCATIONS HAVE A MONTHLY SOCIAL.
You can contact bookings@happyparentshappybaby.com to discuss this with our team or view the course locations and courses here.
A reunion will then be arranged for the same group after your babies are born.
How does the social work?
When you book a refresher course with social add on you will be invited to a social event local to your area and matched to your due date/course date.
This can be with a mixture of first time or subsequent time expectant parents that have taken our in person course in that location.
You’ll be added to the WhatsApp group for your course’s social the week before, and we’ll introduce you to everyone ahead of the session.
What time is the social?
At what stage of pregnancy should I attend?
We recommend that you begin your course after week 25 of your pregnancy to complete the course by week 37.
If you purchase the social add on with your booking, please bare in mind that not all courses run monthly so you may need to book an earlier course to be able to attend your social before your baby is due.

If your baby is born before 37 weeks of pregnancy and you haven’t started the course, we will issue you a full refund.
If you are part way through your course and your baby arrives before 37 weeks of pregnancy, please contact us at bookings@happyparentshappybaby.com, and we’ll be able to assist you.
