The Expecting Online Antenatal Course gives you and your birth partner access to our comprehensive antenatal curriculum 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 throughout your pregnancy.
Throughout the course you’ll cover the important topics of:
You can also opt to purchase each session as a stand alone module. The cost for each module is £25 and you can always upgrade to the full online course after having completed your first stand alone session – this is a great way to get a feel for the course without committing to the full amount upfront.

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

It was great that me and my partner were able to watch them at our leisure and we could stop and go over bits again. It has everything you need to know and has prepared us for labour, the birth and caring for our baby after. Freya also offers a video call after completing the course to discuss any questions that we had and updated us on a few things. We had a lovely chat with her and my partner was really glad that he also did the course with me and was able to ask questions from his perspective too. I would definitely recommend doing Freya’s courses, she’s professional, relaxed and really informative!!! 😀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

When to buy
It’s best to buy access to the online antenatal course between week 30-38 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. You can of course choose to access the course at any other time convenient to you.
If buying sessions individually then sessions 1 & 2 should be completed during pregnancy but sessions 3 & 4 can be completed either during pregnancy or after giving birth.
Buy Now – Individual Sessions
Choose any one of our sessions. You can always upgrade to the full course during your 7 day access and save £35 on the individual sessions and video call. Choose from:
After completing your purchase & making payment you will be able to access your videos and downloadable content through the ‘my account’ tab – you’ll have access for 30 days. 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.
Alongside our comprehensive online antenatal course we also offer one off video calls with an Expecting midwife. This is a great way to get the support you need when you need it without even having to leave the house. We can schedule a call at a time that suits you! This is available throughout your pregnancy and can also be booked in the 28 days after giving birth with and will be fulfilled by our partners ‘Beyond Expecting’.

The zoom chats following the videos were good sessions to raise any further questions we had with Freya and just to share our experiences with other expecting couples. Being in the chats with other people asking questions made us more comfortable to ask any question that came to mind.
Couldn’t recommend these classes enough, good content and Freya is great at getting the detail over and being there with support.

If you’re undecided about the class be it online or in person I can promise you will benefit from the experience, as well as really enjoy it. Going through this as a group was so useful, hearing the questions that other people ask is as helpful as asking your own.
Freya is the perfect person for this, she’s so knowledgable and yet a friendly warm person. It’s been so enjoyable getting to know her and we can’t thank her enough for all she’s done for us.read less

Each week freya went through a different topic with us, we discussed it and had lots of time to ask questions.

She was also great at getting the birth partners involved and encouraging them to join in.

I couldn’t have been more pleasantly surprised. So much so I actually started looking forward to them. Freya’s presentation is interesting, informative and engaging.
My partner and I believed we had a good grasp of what to expect and questioned whether we even needed to take antenatal classes. We are both incredibly glad we did. Not only did we learn an awful lot but were also encouraged to think about things that hadn’t occurred to us.
