Our services

Many new mums feel lost when their babies arrive. They have received a wealth of information throughout their pregnancies but are left stranded after the birth.

Pippa offers support and practical advice from the start of pregnancy right through the first five years of your child’s life.

 

My Pregnancy

Group antenatal classes

Learn in an environment with other parents-to-be. The group classes offer a social environment where you can meet and relate to other expectant parents whilst learning everything you need to know in preparation for your new arrival.

One-on-one antenatal classes

For you and your partner who may have questions specific to your pregnancy and would rather have the privacy of a one-on-one consultation. Also very beneficial for second time parents who would like a refresher course or whose second pregnancies may be offering new challenges.
