Who runs the classes?
Meet Abi.
Abi is one of the midwives that teaches our Chippenham 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 in 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 Chippenham?
The reason NCT springs to mind first for many people when thinking about antenatal classes is because the classes have been around since the 1950s. For many decades they were the only form of antenatal classes available. This means many people believe that all antenatal classes are NCT classes, which is not the case.
The NCT is a charity and instructors complete a degree course to teach the classes. All Happy Parents Happy Baby instructors are midwives and doctors so have a degree but also thousands of hours of practical experience working in birth centres and hospitals.
Unlike NCT classes, our antenatal classes all include hypnobirthing and baby first aid at no extra cost. At the time of writing, NCT classes in Chippenham are priced at £269, compared to £199 for Happy Parents Happy Baby antenatal classes. NCT classes in Chippenham are held at Stanton St Quintin Primary School, whereas our classes take place at a local pub where you can relax and make the most of socialising with your course mates.
