There is even information on the site to help with introducing your dog to your little one. 👍🏻
The course was clearly set out and very well lead by Freya who was on hand through out to answer any questions. Freya also set up a WhatsApp group so all the couples can keep in touch.
I would highly recommend taking the classes.

When we went into lockdown I was very stressed at the thought of not being able to attend any antenatal classes as planned and didn’t know what to do. I tried to YouTube random antenatal videos but there was such a “mish-mash” of information that I felt more bewildered than ever. I was recommended Freya’s online course by several midwives and honestly they were right. The course is structured into 4 different episodes including Labour, Pain Relief, Feeding and Baby’s first days. It was great being able to watch the videos together with my partner, we watched them all through twice and made notes the second time around. We both feel so much better prepared now and don’t feel as though we have missed out on anything, which was definitely my main concern. Freya delivers the information brilliantly so that it doesn’t feel overwhelming to first-time parents like us. She makes you feel really at ease with it all. She also offers a video call once you have completed all of the online videos so that you can discuss any questions that you may have. I highly recommend this course, especially during the current situation, it will put your mind at ease and make you feel confident in bringing your baby into the world.read less

There was so much useful advice and insights given by Freya that we didn’t think about booking a weekend birth class anymore (which is the common way to do it here in Germany/Berlin)! The way she presented all the background information didn’t feel like an online video at all but very personal and fondly with the right amount of humour here and there. The classes calmed me down and left us as a couple relaxed, reassured and well prepared for the birth of our first child.

FAQs
When can I sign up?
- Any time after your first scan.
- If you’ve left it really late you can still sign up for our online course & get instant access to our full course & even benefit from a video call with a midwife after baby has arrived.
What’s the difference between the online course and the virtual classes?
- Both options give you access to our full course to stream and watch/rewatch in the comfort of your own home for a month.
- The virtual classes include Zoom calls with others at a similar stage of pregnancy and gives an opportunity to get to know one another, hear their questions and benefit from the wisdom of your experienced midwife. A what’s app group is set up for the mums to be in the group for added support from each other & your Expecting midwife.
- The online course includes a video call with an experienced Expecting midwife to answer any questions you might have including those specifically about your pregnancy.
How long can I access the videos for?
- The full online course gives you access to the videos for a month.
- The individual videos can be watched for 7 days each so it makes sense to stagger the start dates if you purchase more than one.
I know I’m having a planned Caesarean section. Is Expecting still relevant for me?
- Yes! We cover what to expect when you’re booked in for a caesarean & the aftercare.
- Our feeding & early parenting sessions are still equally relevant.
- Our hypnobirthing class can help keep you calm during pregnancy & be used in theatre during your caesarean.
- Our classes are a great way to meet others at a similar life stage.
Does the feeding class cover breast and bottle feeding?
Yes indeed! We offer non biased information enabling you to make an informed decision & support you in your choices.
Are classes and courses still as relevant for same sex couples?
Absolutely! It’s important you’re both prepared regardless of gender/sexual orientation. We’ve had a number of single sex couples attend our classes.
Can I still ask questions after the class/course?
- Yes! Your Expecting host midwife is on hand to receive calls or text messages right up until your baby is 28 days old.

I found Freya's classes enabled me to prepare for my birthing experience in a relaxed environment and with someone who is experienced and knowledgeable - not just pages of notes from Google filled with jargon.

I also loved that Freya was available to speak to as well; this was a wonderful added extra and meant that any questions I had after the classes were answered. I cannot thank Freya enough for her advice and guidance - especially the advice on getting through labour. Whilst I was in labour, many of Freya's techniques were mentioned by my midwife (another amazing woman in the field) and so I felt empowered that these methods were going to get me and my little family through the birthing experience.

These are now running in person (as Covid restrictions have lifted) but there is an online option for you to access them from anywhere in the world! I can't tell you how useful they've all been! We were sceptical about the hypnobirthing but really enjoyed it & have taken away some valuable tips and definitely recommend anyone giving it a go!The antenatal classes have put us very much at ease and definitely helped to prepare us for what may come our way from birth & early parenthood. The course is very well structured and easy to follow. We felt very comfortable at the classes and found it a great opportunity to ask any questions (both in person, via text during the week, or via a WhatsApp group for all the parents on the course). Freya was able to answer any questions that we had, as well as offer great advice and point us in the right direction if there was additional information that we wanted. The course was also a great opportunity to speak to other parents too, and to realise that we aren't alone on this journey.We highly recommend Freya, and are very grateful for her time, support & the resources that she provided (and of course the great snacks too) 😀.

When we arrived to the antenatal class, Freya was warm and welcoming and everyone in the class was instantly at ease. The sessions are so informative and we learnt information we expected to but also so much more! Her approach towards leading the class is amazing you never feel like any questions is too silly and she really takes her time to listen to everyone. We came away from every session really amazed by how much knowledge we had gained without it being information overload.
The hypnobirthing class was via zoom - which gave us the privacy to practise the techniques in the comfort of our own home without feeling embarrassed doing it in front of other people. I really found everything I learnt in hypnobirthing beneficial it really gave me something to focus on in both latent and active labour and also when it came to push! Overall I would really recommend these classes to anyone expecting!!read less

The preparation for labour and birth was really thorough so we felt armed with knowledge on what was to come! I was keen to do a course that was led by a practicing midwife, as they really do know best, as well as being across all the latest clinical guidance. Freya’s delivery of the classes was brilliant too - we left feeling much more confident! She walked us through labour, birth, feeding and more so we knew, quite literally, what to expect. I was pleased the feeding element of the course also covered bottle feeding, as I personally struggled to breastfeed. It doesn’t end at the class either, as well as the resources available online (worth going back to!) she’s only a message away and very supportive to her groups. Would really recommend to any first time mums and dads!read less

It was hugely informative without being overwhelming, helping so much to put our minds at ease.The online course was also a brilliant format allowing us to watch the sessions whenever suited us, and then re-watch them again.Also knowing that Freya was available to answer any questions or worries we had was extremely comforting. Freya has been so lovely and approachable in our contact with her and we were really grateful for her support. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Expecting classes to anyone looking for antenatal information, advice and reassurance.We also joined Freya’s hypnobirthing course and the techniques I learnt made a huge difference to my state of mind during labour. Brilliant and again highly recommended. Thank you so much Freya and team.read less
