The details …
Bumps weekly antenatal class is suitable for mums of all birth plans and previous birth experiences who are interested in acquiring tools and techniques for a positive birthing experience.
This weekly class incorporates elements from traditional antenatal education, hypnobirthing, active birth, and pregnancy yoga movement and stretch to provide a comprehensive prenatal class that includes education, relaxation, support, and a sense of community in Hamilton and Airdrie.
During the 6 week term we will cover:
Choices for birth
Unbiased antenatal education
How your body works
Natural pain relief (including breathing & self hypnosis)
Birth hormones
Active birth education
Planning for birth
Physiological birth and assisted birth
Breathing techniques for pregnancy and birth
Induction
Weekly relaxation
Bumps Antenatal education stands as a cornerstone in preparing expectant mothers and families for childbirth and early parenthood.
By participating in these classes, mums-to-be gain invaluable knowledge and skills that significantly enhance their birthing experience and the health outcomes for both mum and baby.
Our antenatal education provides unbiased antenatal education, breathing techniques, birth options, and pain management techniques, empowering women to make informed decisions about their care. It’s your birth and your choice!
Furthermore, it nurtures a sense of community, reducing feelings of isolation by connecting expectant parents with others undergoing similar experiences.
This education also significantly lowers the incidence of prenatal and postnatal depression by equipping parents with coping strategies for stress and anxiety.
Antenatal education is more than just preparation; it's an essential investment in the wellbeing of families, paving the way for a positive pregnancy, child-birth, and early parenting journey.
This class offers a secure and inclusive environment for women to freely ask any questions, regardless of how trivial they may seem, and to connect with other women who are at various stages of pregnancy.
Additionally, each class has its own WhatsApp group and participants have the option to join the private Facebook group.
This class is a weekly class for mums-to-be only. If you are looking for a class which will include your birth partner please find out Bumps Antenatal Couples workshop which runs every 6 weeks in Airdrie.

Q. Does my partner come to this class
No, this weekly class is for mums only but there is a perfect class if you would prefer to attend with your birth partner. Click HERE to find out more
Q. Can I do both the weekly Bumps class and the couples class?
A. Yes, A lot of mums enjoy their weekly time to themselves but like to bring their birth partners along to the couples workshop to help them work together as a team when labour starts and it helps them to understand how they can best help and support you and each other during that time.
Q. When is the best time to start Bumps Antenatal classes?
A. It depends on how you are feeling but I always recommend after 20 weeks and before 37 weeks. If you are anxious about birth, get booked in during your second trimester can help to ease those fears and help you to relax. You can attend classes all the way up to being in labour, but babies' arrivals can take us by surprise, so we recommend that you complete a term by the time you reach 37 weeks (just in case)! My first baby arrived at 34 weeks with no prior warning so you never know!
Q. What do I wear to classes?
A. No Matter which class you are coming to they are all mat based so we sit on mats on the floor. The only exception is the couples workshop which is chairs. So, it is advised to wear comfy clothes, most mums wear leggings or something stretchy.
Q. What do I need to bring to Bumps class?
A. Yourself, a bottle of water, a cushion and blanket for relaxation. If you have your own yoga mat please bring along but mats are provided for everyone.
Q. What if I miss class will it get rolled into the following week?
A. The terms are set blocks and no classes can be carried over as per our terms and conditions. I will do my best to fit you into another class in the same week where possible or catch you up on what you may have missed when you return.
