Who runs the classes?
Meet Abi.
Abi is one of the midwives that teaches our Bath antenatal classes. Abi is a qualified midwife and a health visitor and has enjoyed over 10 years working with families. Her experience has been varied which reflects the nature of pregnancy and parenthood! She has completed a masters of science, specifically researching aspects of postnatal care women receive in the UK and says this highlighted the value of good preparation and antenatal education, which is why she is so pleased to support families accessing this course. Abi’s son was born last year (2022) and she hopes to also bring recent personal experience to compliment her years of professional service.
How does this differ to NCT classes in Bath?
NCT classes have been around since the 1950s and for many decades were the only antenatal classes. This means many people believe that all antenatal classes are NCT classes, which is not the case. Happy Parents Happy Baby antenatal classes in Bath are not the same as NCT classes in Bath, or other antenatal classes in and around Bath. Here are some of the differences (as per December 2024).
Our local community
Most of the people coming on our Bath course are from Bath. The course is also popular with those living in neighbouring areas of Bathampton, Combe Down and Bradford-on-Avon.
From walks around the beautiful historic city, to coffee shop hangouts and playdates at each other’s houses, graduates from our Bath antenatal classes are never short of things to do together.
