The Expecting Antenatal Classes Online Course gives you and your birth partner the same comprehensive curriculum delivered at our midwife hosted classes all in the comfort of your own home. You won’t miss out on individualised care thanks to receiving a personal video call from an Expecting Midwife. You’ll also have access to ongoing support from your midwife via text and phone, should you wish.
The on-line course gives you 30 days access to stream and watch all four Expecting sessions at your own pace alongside all of the Expecting handouts & other helpful documents. The course comes complete with a one-off, 1-to-1 (or 1-to-2) video call with a qualified midwife upon completing the course who will be able to answer any questions you may have (there are prompts to pause the videos, these provide great spaces to write down any questions ahead of your video call).

Would highly recommend this course to anyone- especially those who want to do it from the comfort of their own home with no need to arrange babysitters. Freya is fabulous- thank you! 🙂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.
We would highly recommend her classes to anyone (even to non-natives). Just brilliant!read less

Freya is very professional in her videos but also so light hearted and shares plenty of great stories. We also had access to a load of online resources which helped us along the way. It was great to be able to sit together and do the activities from home, discussing our thoughts along the way. Thanks Freya for preparing us so well!read less

When to buy
It’s best to buy access to the on-line course between week 28-34 of your pregnancy. This is to ensure that you have already had time to feel comfortable with the fact that you are carrying your baby and best ready to begin to think about the arrival of your baby. This time frame also means that all the info (and questions answered in your video call) will be fresh when it is most needed.
Buy now
After completing your purchase & making payment you will be able to access your videos and downloadable content through the ‘my account’ tab. Use your email address and chosen password to log in. We’ll also send you a confirmation/link email that will take you directly to your account – please make sure this doesn’t slip into your junk folder without noticing! Within a few days an Expecting midwife will be in touch to arrange your video-call.

I found the whole experience very informative and it prepared me more than I could have ever imagined.
The classes were very relaxed and actually quite fun with an added bonus of some delicious sweet treats and snacks 😁
It’s also a great way to get to know people going through the same thing and pick up tips and tricks on how to deal with pregnancy.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend it to anybody.
Thank you once again Freya for making our birth experience so great.read less

We had a great time on the course and left it much better prepared for the birth of our first child... And second. Freya has a warm welcome, and maintains fantastic energy throuout the course making it as entertaining as it is informative. Skip forward 7 years and some friends of mine are expecting, I couldn't be happier that they've enrolled onto an expecting course with Freya, and I'm really looking forward to hearing all about it when I see them next.read less

We really enjoyed getting to know the other parents to be, and sharing our journeys with each other has been our favourite part about the whole process. Thank you!!read less

Freya is extremely knowledgable, very approachable and friendly and has developed really useful, educational classes that will help first time parents understand what to expect from labour, birth and the early days of parenting. The classes were full of lots of useful information and advice. We had quite a complicated delivery but managed to stay calm thanks to understanding what was going on from the classes. Freya was even very supportive via text whilst I was in labour which was above and beyond what we could have expected. We would 100% recommend these classes to anybody expecting their first child and looking for support and guidance. Thank you Freya!!read less

The advice and support given by Sarah was fantastic, and she made us feel a lot less anxious about the upcoming labour. I was very surprised that when actually IN labour, the information you absorb over the classes does come flooding back. I kept this all in mind and I genuinely believe it made me have a much more relaxed labour having the knowledge of what was happening to my body. Would definitely recommendread less
