Hello. We are Sophie & Richard. Sophie works in Defence & Space, Richard works in a law firm within the finance department. We have two cats, Oscar & Max and parents to our beautiful 3 month old baby Maisie. We took the Happy Parents Happy Baby antenatal classes in Keynsham.
My pregnancy went very smoothly, I had no sickness and was excited for our little arrival. The thing I was most nervous about was the sleep deprivation! HPHB really helped us to make friends with people going through the pregnancy journey at the same time as us. It also allowed us to learn so many things like baby first aid.
Bath, RUH. They were incredible, so.supportive.
My birth ended up being slightly complicated as I had forceps and heavy bleeding after. However, the hospital staff were amazing and I felt supported throughout especially having my husband right by my side. HPHB supported by informing us prior to all the different ways of keeping comfortable during the birth and what support is out there.
Gas and air– 5, made me feel much more comfortable.
