Unique Births Pregnancy & Parenting support
Antenatal Classes
Postnatal support and groups/sessions

Welcome to Unique Births we are an independent provider of antenatal and postnatal parenting courses in and around Rutland, Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire. We offer a wide range of exciting services tailored to you and your family’s needs to help you prepare for your journey into parenthood.

11/10/2026

We’re coming to the end of our final group antenatal course of the year, but there’s still time to join us for some preparation before your baby arrives.

We have just five spaces remaining for private antenatal courses before Christmas, and we’re also taking bookings for private hypnobirthing courses.

Our private antenatal courses take place in the comfort of your own home, with time dedicated entirely to you and your birth partner.

We cover all aspects of labour, birth and those first few weeks with your baby, but the real benefit of a private course is being able to make it your own. We can spend more time on the things that matter to you, explore your individual circumstances and work through all those questions that inevitably come up as your pregnancy progresses.

Whether this is your first baby or you’re preparing for another birth, good antenatal education can make such a difference to how you approach the experience.

If you’re expecting a baby and would like to find out more about our private antenatal or hypnobirthing courses, please do get in touch.

I’ve spoken to so many people over the years who start by saying something like, “I know other people had it worse…” or “I should just be grateful because we were both OK.”

You can be grateful your baby is here and well and still be upset, angry, frightened or confused about what happened.

Birth doesn’t have to look dramatic on paper to have been difficult for you.

Sometimes those feelings settle with time and talking. Sometimes they don’t.

If your birth is still taking up more space in your head than you’d like, we offer 3-Step Rewind at Unique Births — three private sessions designed to help with the difficult feelings that can remain after a traumatic or distressing birth.

Let’s have a conversation first if you’re not sure whether it’s right for you🤍

Have you left us a review yet?

If you’ve worked with me at Unique Births over the last couple of years, I’d really love to hear from you.

People looking for antenatal support want to hear from other parents, not just from me. Your Google reviews and messages genuinely help new parents find us, trust us and decide whether we might be right for them.

And I’d particularly love to hear from dads and birth partners. You’re never an add-on to our courses — your experience, your questions and your role matter too.

So if we helped, supported or simply made something feel a little easier, please leave us a Google review or send me a few words that we can share on the website.

It makes a real difference to a small business like ours. Thank you.❤️

A little heads-up if you’re thinking about antenatal classes with us over the winter…

For December, January & February, I’ll only be offering our Personalised Antenatal Programmes.

These are private courses in your own home, planned around you, your pregnancy and what you actually want to know. And if you’d rather do it with a friend who’s also expecting, you absolutely can — you can book your programme together.

Availability will be quite limited, so if you’re having a winter/early spring baby and have been thinking about working with me, I’d get in touch sooner rather than later.

3 things you might not know about your placenta

1. The placenta is a temporary organ — your body grows a whole new organ during pregnancy.

2. Your blood and your baby’s blood come incredibly close within the placenta, allowing oxygen, nutrients and waste products to be exchanged — but the two blood supplies don’t normally mix.

3. By the end of pregnancy, the placenta weighs around 500g — roughly the weight of a packet of pasta.

Pretty impressive for an organ you only have for a few months.

Did you know all three?

There’s no way of knowing exactly how your birth will unfold, and being prepared isn’t about trying to predict it.

It’s about getting to understand how birth flows .

Understanding what might happen, what your choices could look like and what matters to you. Talking about the things you’re looking forward to, but also the things that are worrying you — even if you can’t quite put your finger on why.

Sometimes the more we understand, the less frightening something feels. And sometimes learning more helps us work out where we might need a little extra support.

Good birth preparation should leave room for all of that.
Not one perfect birth plan. Not a list of things you have to get right. Just good information, honest conversations and enough understanding to help you feel more able to meet your birth as it unfolds.

There’s more than one way to be tired after having a baby.

Did you know there are actually 7 different types of rest — and in those early weeks, everyone in the family may need a bit of each.

Physical rest — sleep, yes, but also sitting down, lying down, not rushing recovery and letting someone else do the jobs.

Mental rest — fewer decisions. Someone else deciding what’s for dinner, remembering what needs buying or keeping track of appointments.

Sensory rest — babies are noisy, homes get busy and everyone can feel touched-out. Ten minutes somewhere quiet, putting your phone down or having a shower alone can help.

Emotional rest — being able to say this is hard without someone immediately trying to fix it. This matters for both parents.

Social rest — spending time with people who leave you feeling better, not people you have to host. It’s also completely fine to say no to visitors.

Creative rest — fresh air, music, reading a few pages of a book, sitting in the garden. Something small that isn’t feeding, nappies or washing.

Spiritual rest — whatever gives you a sense of connection or meaning. That might be faith, nature, meditation, community or simply a little quiet.

4 tiny things to try in the postpartum weeks:

1. Take ten minutes completely alone when you can — no baby, no phone, no jobs.
2. Give each other a protected lie-down, bath, walk or shower each day — even if it’s only 15 minutes.
3. Take decisions off the table. Repeat easy meals, say no to things and keep plans minimal.
4. Notice what kind of tired you are. Sometimes what you need isn’t sleep — it’s quiet, company, space, fresh air or simply not being needed for ten minutes.

Save this while you’re pregnant — it might be useful at 3am one day!
