Who runs the classes?
Meet Aimée
Aimée is one of the midwives teaching our antenatal classes in Southville. She trained in London and has been a registered midwife for almost a decade. She currently works as a specialist midwife for London Ambulance Service and South Western Ambulance Service. In her spare time she loves hiking, climbing and travelling. She says ‘I really can’t wait to meet you and support you on the course.’
How does this differ to NCT classes in Southville?
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 Bath (nearest to Southville) are priced at £299, compared to prices from £199 for Happy Parents Happy Baby antenatal classes. The most local NCT classes are held at Windmill Hill City Farm whereas our classes take place at a popular pub in Southville so you can relax and make the most of socialising with your course mates.
Our local Southville community
Most people on our Southville course are from Southville. The course is also popular with people living neighbouring areas of Bedminster and Totterdown.
From trips to Avon Valley Adventure and Wildlife Park and walks along the river, to hangouts in the coffee shops and at each other’s houses, graduates from our Southville antenatal classes are never short of things to do.
Is it worth it?
“My partner and I were so pleased we chose Happy Parents Happy Baby for our antenatal classes. The midwife we had leading the course was so kind and patient with us (we had a huge group!) really informative and the course covered everything you need. We found the course portal videos really helpful to watch before each session and great to be able to access them afterwards for refreshing our memories too. I have already recommended to expectant friends and will happily continue to do so!”
Nicola, July Course
