1:1 session parent prep ​

I truly believe if you go into your pregnancy, birth and fourth trimester fully-informed and supported, you can achieve anything. 

 

I have previously written and lead antenatal classes within NHS settings and I am so excited to bring these into my independent midwifery work.

 

​These sessions are individualised for you, dependent upon what you wish to learn and inform yourselves about. Sessions can be tailored for parents, grandparents or even your children and wider family! Why not get a group of pregnant friends together and enjoy the sessions with each other?

​

In my parenting prep sessions, I can offer support and information about the following:

• Birth preparation and writing birth preferences.

• Place of birth – home, birth centres and hospital birth.

• Navigating your maternity care in the NHS from pregnancy to the postnatal period.

• Birth partners – how you can support and advocate for your partner in labour.

• Birth – breathing techniques, massage, the benefits of movement and adopting different positions in labour.

• Pain relief options.

• Birth – vaginal, instrumental and caesarean births.

• Caring for yourself postnatally – physical and mental well-being support and planning your fourth trimester.

• Caring for a newborn – nappy care, cord care, bathing, safer sleeping guidance and reducing the risks of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).

• Infant feeding – hand expression, benefits of breastfeeding, formula feeding and making the right choice for you and your family.

• Baby first aid – this is an additional, specialist session with Alpha Complex Training, provided at a discounted cost, teaching you the vital skills for basic life support and first aid for babies and children. 

​​

You will receive a list of my teachings and you will be asked to select which topics are of interest and importance to you. I will then write your personalised parenting prep sessions and send you an individualised plan and costings for this.

​

 T&C’s:

• Each session lasts around 90 minutes (content depending) and costs £60. Discounts are applied for multiple session bookings at the discretion of Bethany Woodger.

• I am an independent midwife, which means I may be called to a birth at short notice and therefore need to cancel the session at last minute. I 100% commit to you that I will rearrange the session at a time that suits you, or fully refund that session if you cannot rearrange.

• Individual session costings includes a driving distance of up to 30 miles from IP7 – a small charge for mileage will be applied if you live outside of this area.

• 1:1 sessions must be paid in full at booking and are non-refundable except in extenuating circumstances.
