Reviews & Essential Tips

 

Below are some reviews about our antenatal courses.

Baby Dolly Antenatal Course - Nicola. L

I was a little skeptical before signing up for antenatal classes and wasn't sure how useful they would be, but I cannot tell you how glad my husband and I were that we joined Baby Dolly classes! The information and advice about what to expect is invaluable and delivered in a relaxed and informal way. The course gave us information about all the options for child birth and what may happen so that we could make informed decisions about what we wanted. From TENS hire to providing a draft hospital bag list, Baby Dolly classes really help you prepare for your arrival.

Baby Dolly Antenatal Course

I would strongly recommend Baby Dolly to anyone looking for antenatal courses! Both my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and found them so helpful as first-time parents. Lucy answered all our questions and offered impartial advice which was just what we needed. To top it off, we have made some good friends through the course and we now have a great support network as new parents!

Baby Dolly Antenatal Course - Sarah. C

My husband and my self found this course very informative and interactive with practical sessions, which were useful. It covers for example pre and post natal topics such as Labour, Pain relief, feeding, sleeping patterns, bathing for example and many more. We have also made great friends. My husband found it very useful and I have no doubt that he will be a good birth manager. Highly recommend this course.

Baby Dolly Antenatal Course - Tejal

We attended the 5 week course, we both really enjoyed it! It was really informative, non biased and has certainly made me feel a bit less nervous about the birth. We would recommend to all mothers to be.

Baby Dolly Antenatal Classes - Claire. L

Fantastic Course Lucy made me feel at ease and answered all my silly niggling questions. I really enjoyed it and learnt so much the way it was taught was really informative and me and my partner came away looking forward to the birth of our baby.

Here are some 'essential tips' provided by new parents wanting to share their experiences

If you would like to add your 'essential tip' please fill in the form below:

  • Throw the clocks away for the first 2 weeks when the baby is born, sleep whenever
    you can.
  • Make sure the hospital bag is well packed in advance and do a check list!!! As I forgot the midwife notes, big mistake!!!!
  • Bare in mind labour is usually a long protracted process, so don't ever panic and always ask questions of the midwife.
  • Be positive and confident at all times - keep your partner relaxed and up beat.
  • Take a fan (I got so hot!!!)
  • Take sugary or sports drinks as well as water for you and her.
  • Birth partner: Change of T-shirt and could even wear shorts.
  • Birth partner: Hold her hands during contractions and help her focus on breathing through them (breathing was key to her get through it and the baby not getting distressed).
  • Birth partner: Learn the massage point at base of spine to help her through contractions and ensure you can get it right!!
  • Have a birth plan and inform midwifes of it
  • Men: Take your shirt off and hold the baby when born - a great moment.
  • Enjoy time at home with the Baby it goes so quickly!
  • Pre-make some dishes and freeze them, its the only way to get any decent food you in the first month!
