Myself and my husband were originally apprehensive and nervous but were soon put at ease by Sarah as well as the other couples. Sarah was professional and friendly. No question or comment was too silly to share within the group. 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 course covers lots of different areas and as it’s run by midwives it runs through every birthing/feeding option without bias which was so helpful! It gave me huge confidence in my ability to have our baby. Being able to ask questions to a professional midwife was also so reassuring. The weekly cake and meeting lovely couples were a welcome bonus too! read less

A brilliant class and experience. It really helped prepare us for the birth and the little things we may not have thought of when baby arrived. Would highly recommend. 🙂

I would highly recommend Expecting, so much more than just antenatal classes. Giving you confidence, reassurance & support throughout. FANTASTIC!

Non of that sitting round on the floor doing breathing exercises like I was dreading just up-to-date practical information about pregnancy, birth and baby care. Time was also made during the classes to let you get to know the other people there. The antenatal girls and I still meet up regularly with the kids (now all 3 years old) and they were a lifesaver in those early days with little babies when you need to speak to someone who totally understands what you’re going though. I found Freya’s list of local baby groups invaluable too, it lived on my fridge for east reference for a good couple of years! I also attended one NHS class at Stafford Hospital which was extremely confusing and the people delivering seemed unable to answer any questions asked. Having attended this I did not go back to anymore NHS classes and I was even more grateful that i’d already attended Freya’s Expecting Classes! Would recommend without reservation. read less

Being from a medical background, myself and my husband were quite skeptical about antenatal classes and had heard varying reports about the advice given, and knowledge imparted, in other antenatal groups. Freya is extremely knowledgeable about the process involved with ‘having a baby’ and the current medical evidence and advice for parents to be. She is not at all militant and by no means pushes you into feeling like you must do one thing or the other when it comes to you, the childbirth and your baby. I would highly recommend theses classes to anyone who is considering them. read less

Our group are very lucky as we have had the founder who has lead our group. Thank you Freya for a brilliant course, with your expertise you have prepared both Bella and I for our next journey. read less

Each session was really informative from learning about labour, pain relief, feeding and post natal. Can't believe how much we didn't know, so we are feeling much more confident now! It was also great to meet so many other parents to be who were so lovely and we are really looking forward to the reunion! read less

I was a little daunted about the thought of going into the classes with so much of the unknown ahead of me however every session was very informative yet relaxed and we were made to feel so welcome! Freya is very friendly and a great teacher and I would highly recommend this course to anyone as it also allows you to meet other parents to be! read less

Unsure of what to expect we were apprehensive before the first class, however Freya was so welcoming and quickly put us at ease. The classes were very informative and involved lots of discussion and chances to get to know the other couples in the group, without any dreaded role plays or embarrassing videos in sight! We’re still in touch with the other parents and it’s lovely to see our babies all growing up together. I would highly recommend any expectant parent to sign up to these classes as you won’t be disappointed. read less

Doing the course for a second time with knowing what to expect with giving birth, I still took away more knowledge and understanding which maybe I missed on my first course, so just goes to show how wonderful the expecting classes are. Freya is also so helpful, no question is silly and you can ask Freya anything about your pregnancy and you will get brilliant expert advice and not feel under pressure like you do sometimes during your checks ups with midwifes at your surgery. Freya keep up the excellent work of expecting, I can’t recommend highly enough and that’s not just to parents of first borns. Thank you for all you help � read less

Her classes aren't designed to tell you what to do. She equips you with all the information you need to make informed decisions and prepares you for any scenario.

We learnt so much during the sessions and looked forward to each one and liked the fact that the course had around 8 couples so it was a good environment to learn in and ask questions. Overall the best thing was making new friends who were all going through the same thing and 5 years later we are all still.in touch and meet up when we can. Definitely recommend these classes to expecting parents. read less

Freya and Beckie were friendly, informative and very comforting. The classes meant that we understood what was happening/about to happen in a medical sense and I also felt empowered to make my own informed choices about the birth and how we wanted to parent in the early days. Not only this but we met a group of amazing other parents to be who we made close friends with and now meet up regularly with our 3 year olds! read less
