Pregnancy to Parenthood Reviews 

As first time parents to be, in the middle of a pandemic, we knew we wanted to attend antenatal classes but knew they couldn’t be in person. We wanted to learn about birth and caring for a newborn, as well as meet other parents to be in the local area.

The Birth Bump and Beyond class was perfectly adapted to be online and we looked forward to the sessions each week. We learned so much about labour, birth and looking after a new baby which gave us the confidence we needed. We also met two other couples who were due around the same time as us and we have since all met up with babies in tow! Emma is so approachable and knowledgable. We can’t thank her enough for all of her help and would really recommend the course to others!

We completed the antenatal classes with Emma in Horsham prior to the arrival of our little girl in Jan 2021.
Emma’s expertise and knowledge were second to none and the course really helped equip us with knowledge around what was to come. Emma was warm, friendly and no question was too silly! Emma even took time to answer some individual questions via WhatsApp on non-urgent matters antenatally and when little one had arrived too! It was so useful to have Emma’s support!
We were in between lockdowns so did a mixture of zoom classes and face to face.

Emma introducing us to a network of expectant parents, all due around the same time - was the most valuable resource. Especially during lockdown when all you could do was go for a walk!
My little one is turning one and I still see the group frequently!

I shout about BBB to whoever will listen and I have recommended the course to two of my friends who were expecting babies. If you are in two minds, do it! You won’t regret it! ☺️. Thank you Emma!!

The Bump, Birth and Beyond antenatal course we attended was fantastic, it was very informative and prepared us for the birth of our son and the early days as parents. Emma is really great, especially being a working Midwife was really beneficial. She was very helpful during the course when we found out our baby was breech with information and support and after the course when we had some feeding issues with our son she was on hand to give advice and just support what decisions we made, which was really kind and above and beyond what we expected. We would highly recommend this to anyone.

Me and my partner found the atenatal classes were very informative, providing us with all the knowlegde and tools before welcoming our baby into the world. Emma was very friendly and welcoming aswell as being very professional. We choose these atenatal classes over the standard nct ones as they were more personal and set over a 5 week period which suited our needs better. We also enjoyed the smaller group and liked the idea of supporting a local business. A smaller group has meant we have stayed in touch and become good friends with the rest of the couples on the course. We would definitely recommend Birth Bump and Beyond to all our friends, family and work colleagues.

I came across Emma and Bump Birth & Beyond when I was searching for an alternative to the usual NCT classes. We are so glad we found Emma, her classes were relaxed, friendly and really informative. Emma is a midwife so she could really tell us everything we needed to know and answer all our questions without making it scary. I came away from each class feeling strong, confident and in control because Emma had given us the tools to deal with all possibilities. We also came away with a group of lovely new friends which is a great support network for the months to come.

I would absolutely recommend the bump, birth and beyond antenatal course. I had read a lot online and also attended an nhs class but I would not have felt anywhere near as calm and prepared for the last few weeks of my pregnancy, labour, birth and the first days with our new baby if we hadn’t been to Emma’s classes. There’s no substitute for 12 hours with a practising midwife and being able to ask any questions. We looked forward to the class every week, partners were really included, the setting was cosy and comfortable and Emma was a friendly, caring face. It was great to meet other expectant parents too!

We can't thank Emma enough for everything she did to help and support us with the training and preparation with our first pregnancy/birth of our son - we keep recommending it to everyone and truly believe that is the reason we had the perfect labour we had!

Emma was an absolute godsend!
I dread to think what my labour and birth would of been like if I didn’t do hypnobirthing.
This was my first time being pregnant and I honestly am so glad that I decided to do hypnobirthing. As a first time parent I was so nervous of what to expect, Emma was amazing in making sure that not only I was ok but my partner. We learnt so much and we would reccomend this course to anyone especially first time parents!
Emma was so caring and passionate about what she delivered and even after the course I know she is only a message away.
If you havnt already booked onto her course you really must 🙌🏽
