The details …

Having a supportive and confident birth partner by your side can significantly impact your birthing experience. The Bumps Antenatal couples workshop in Airdrie recognizes this importance and offers a comprehensive four-hour session tailored to equip expecting mums and their birth partners with the necessary tools and knowledge to navigate childbirth with confidence and positivity.

Regardless of whether your birth partner is your life partner, co-parent, supportive friend, or family member, involving them in the birth preparation journey is crucial for fostering a positive and supportive birthing environment. The workshop is designed to cater to all pregnancy-related conditions with ease and can be attended from around 30 weeks pregnant up until the baby's birth, ensuring flexibility and inclusivity for expectant couples in the Hamilton and Airdrie areas.

During the workshop, participants will delve into various topics essential for a positive birthing experience. From understanding how to advocate for the birth you desire to exploring the role of the birth partner, educating on the physiology of birth, and gaining insights into the stages of labour, the workshop covers a wide array of subjects aimed at empowering expectant parents.

Practical aspects such as birth choices, breathing techniques, optimal foetal positioning, relaxation methods, and effective massage techniques are also taught to help manage contractions and promote comfort during both pregnancy and labour. Moreover, the workshop encourages active participation and provides ample opportunities for couples to ask questions, ensuring that all concerns are addressed in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.

Furthermore, the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the workshop is enhanced by the addition of home-baked treats, making it not only educational but also enjoyable and nurturing. Many couples travel from nearby areas like Coatbridge, East Kilbride, Uddingston and Bothwell to as far as Ayrshire to attend the workshop, turning it into a memorable and enriching experience for expectant parents.

The workshop is offered as a single four-hour session at a cost of £80 per expectant mother and her birth partner, making it an accessible and affordable option for couples seeking comprehensive antenatal education and support. By investing in their birthing preparation through the Bumps Antenatal workshop, expectant parents can embark on their journey to parenthood with confidence, knowledge, and a strong support system by their side.

  • Q. When is the best time to attend the Bumps Couples workshop?

    A. Anytime after 30 weeks so it stays fresh in your mind. Notes will be given but better staying closer to your due date.

    Q. What happens if I book and my baby turns up early?

    A. Where possible try to give us as much notice as possible. Babies can sometimes turn up early and we can’t help that.
    All preemie baby arrivals will be refunded. Please be aware that workshops can be full with waiting lists so please let us know as soon as you can by text 07725408011

    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. What do I wear to classes?

    A. In couples workshop we sit on chairs rather than mats but we do a section for optimal foetal positioning and massage techniques based on mats on the floor, so comfy clothes are preferable, most mums wear leggings or something stretchy.

    Q. Can I bring my exercise ball to sit on?

    A. Yes, not a problem at all

  • Inclusive of ALL birth partners!

    Myself and my partner attended the couples antenatal workshop with Julie a few weeks ago. We had a great time, there was a really lovely atmosphere and the class was so positive and informative, we learned loads!
    It really settled any nerves we had and gave us lots of useful hints and tips to try.
    I also want to point out how inclusive the class was, we are a same sex couple and felt really comfortable, but the class is inclusive of ALL birth partners, so I would highly recommend!

  • "Designed for couples not just mums..."

    I went to the couples antenatal class not really knowing what to expect. My wife had been enjoying the weekly sessions but wasn’t sure what I would get from the class. I found it really useful and so much information to take away. I definitely feel more aware of our choices during birth and feel like I could help make the right decision for us if things don’t go to plan. Some practical takeaways on how I can actively support my wife as well with massage and breathing. Julie was great, very welcoming and felt designed for couples not just mums.. Definitely recommend if you want to know what to expect and how you can help and be involved.

  • Cakes, lady parts and scarfs....

    Cakes, lady parts and scarfs.... not typically how I spend my Saturday mornings but so glad I did. The couples workshop gave me a deeper understanding and perspective about what was about to unfold and help prepare and teach me how to support my partner for what was about to happen to her body.

  • "Calm and in Control"

    When I started Julie’s class at 22 weeks i was the most anxious person on the planet - fast forward to now being 33 weeks and i feel calm and in control of what lies ahead. This is purely down to the education within classes and the open environment that Julie creates, where no question is a stupid question. If you are expecting, 100% recommend that you come along to Julie Keys Bump, Birth and baby classes.

  • "A fountain of knowledge"

    Julie is, quite simply, a fountain of knowledge for all things birthing and baby related, this matched with her humour and down to earth attitude - Her skills in this field are unrivalled.

  • "a truly essential and highly recommended session"

    Julie was able to cover the feeling of my partners future birth it all using shared experiences underpinned by science and research. This all capped off by holding the weight of my baby for the first time makes the couples workshop a truly essential and highly recommended session for anyone on a birthing journey. Thank you so much Julie
