FAQ...
Who is Tewkesbury Antenatal For?
Sessions are suitable for anyone expecting a baby and their partner/birth partner (although you are very welcome to book on your own). You are able to book at any stage of pregnancy but I recommend booking some time between 25 and 38 weeks.
Why attend antenatal sessions?
Research shows that being informed about the physiology of labour (knowing exactly what's happening to your amazing body and why) and understanding the choices available to you (what are my options?) means you are more likely to feel you have had a positive birth experience. A fab reason to invest in yourself and prepare for your birth.
How long are the sessions?
If you would like to book a 1-2-1 'Birth Ready' session you can book for a date and time to suit you and length of session/s will depend on content covered.
Who will run our sessions?
Tewkesbury Antenatal is created and run by a local Tewkesbury practitioner for local parents.
The sessions are run by myself- Deborah Hannam, a qualified and experienced doula and antenatal practitioner. Having gained my Birth & Beyond degree with the NCT, I have been supporting parents through pregnancy and running antenatal sessions for Gloucestershire families for the last 9 years. In my role as a doula I am privileged to be able to continue that support, being by a parent's side during birth, ensuring they feel safe, supported and cared for throughout their labour and as they welcome their baby into the world.
