Who runs the classes?
Meet Kate.
Kate is one of the midwives that teaches our Marlow antenatal classes. She is an experienced midwife having worked through all areas of the maternity unit including a wonderful year on the homebirth team. Kate has also qualified as a Health Visitor who specialises in the health and development of children from birth to 5 years old. She has a wealth of experience around pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period and loves to meet and get to know new families. She believes woman-centred care and informed choice is key to a positive experience and helps to empower families to ensure they have the information to do this. To add to this, Kate has become a mum herself and says her son Reuben has taught her so much about parenthood already!
How does this differ to NCT classes in Marlow?
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 Marlow are priced at £299, compared to £199 for Happy Parents Happy Baby antenatal classes. NCT classes in Marlow are held at Newfield Place, whereas our classes take place at the Kings Head so you can relax and make the most of socialising with your course mates.
Our local community
Most of the people coming on our Marlow course are from Marlow. The course is also popular with those living in neighbouring areas of Bourne End, Cookham and Bisham.
From walks along the Thames Path or in Higginson Park and Phenix pregnancy yoga classes to coffee shop hangouts and playdates at each other’s houses, graduates from our Marlow antenatal classes are never short of things to do together.
