Being pregnant during Covid has been hard with limited antenatal care available; but Freya has been an incredible support, both on the weekly Zoom calls and WhatsApp.
Freya worked hard to ensure we formed friendships with other Expecting parents, when we hadn’t been able to meet in person for the classes. Thank you Freya ☺️read less

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 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.
For anyone considering whether to take antenatal classes or who to take them with, I couldn’t recommend Expecting any higher. Thank you Freya for enhancing our whole pregnancy experience.read less

I am so glad my husband and I picked this course not only it was well structured, clearly communicated, informative and detailed but also with a lot of practical advice and recommendations. It really provided a great level of detail to be able to imagine what to expect on the day as well as what happens once the baby is born and what options are available. It definitely prepared us for this experience and I feel less nervous and anxious. I would greatly recommend this course to anyone who wants to prepare for the labour and what comes afterwards. Freya is extremely experienced and knowledgeable midwife with a fantastic sense of humour, able to answer any questions clearly and honestly. This was an excellent course. Thank you Freya 🙏🏻read less

Everything has been clearly presented and explained and we believe that we have picked up some fantastic extra advice and practical tips, in addition to all of the crucial medical information.
Freya has been a wonderful support on the course Zoom calls and through WhatsApp in between. We have really appreciated her informative, no nonsense, but open-minded approach to all of the issues covered.
We would not hesitate to recommend the course to other parents-to-be, locally or further afield, and think that it has been great value for money.read less

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

Freya was a great source of knowledge and her classes were very helpful for all stages of pregnancy, labour, birth & beyond. The limited number of attendees enabled us to get the most out of each session and to get to know the other couples. Each session was as interactive as the group wanted it to be. The latter part of the course was held virtually due to the restrictions posed by the COVID pandemic, but this was managed well by Freya and did not take away from the overall usefulness of the course. We found Freya very approachable and would highly recommend her classes.read less

Due to the lock down we weren't able to meet the group face to face but that didn't stop us getting the best out of the course. We watched informative videos and had online chats with Freya and the other couples. She covers a whole range of topics to make you feel full prepared for birth and the life afterwards (which you sometimes forget about)! We were able to ask Freya questions throughout which she always had an answer for, however silly you think your question is! Being pregnant during the Corona virus pandemic has it's own worries on top of everything else. We were fortunate to have found Freya who offered us reasurance in an unknown and scary time. I cannot recommend her highly enough.read less

I use the WhatsApp group on a daily basis to ask questions and share, it’s amazing! If you’re thinking of booking this course then do it, you really won’t regret it. ☺️ Thank you for everything Freya!read less
