The Bump to Baby Chapter  レビュー 307

The bump to baby chapter hypnobirthing course was amazing. Beth is so knowledgeable and you feel confident with everything she teaches due to her years of experience. I can honestly say my whole thought process around birth was so positive after purchasing the course and I look back on my birth as the best day ever! I felt so empowered and in control of my choices.

I couldn’t recommend the bump to baby chapter enough! I was fortunate enough to have a very positive birth with my son back in June and think a MASSIVE part of that is down to this course! I went into labour feeling empowered and knowledgeable, felt in control and used EBRAN to ensure I stayed that way throughout labour and birth! This course is honestly invaluable and I’m sure I will revisit it as and when the time comes for baby number two!!
We did the face to face classes as well as the online group and still meet up weekly! So nice having the support of the other mums and a lush group of babies so close in age!

The Bump to Baby Chapter is a MUST! We went through the group classes, but also did the online course and it completely changed our outlook on birth!
We felt so empowered from both the in person and online sessions - the knowledge my partner and I both got was invaluable and really helped us be able to make informed decisions about our pregnancy and birth.
When things didn't quite go to plan during labour, I used the techniques from the course to help me remain calm and feel in control. I was able to question and challenge things and made sure I was making the right decision for both my baby and I.
I could not recommend this highly enough and it really helped!

I used this course for my first daughter born April 2021- the knowledge and skills I gained meant I had a wonderfully positive birth despite it being far from my ideal birth. I refreshed my knowledge with the course, as your membership is for life, when I was expecting my second daughter and in October 2022 I got to experience the most perfect birth and again used the knowledge and skills from this course. I am so grateful for all this course offers and would absolutely recommend it to others.

This was so invaluable to me and my partner, we had both the online course and the antenatal classes with Amina and Dani. I can honestly say that this changed the way we were both thinking about birth, pregnancy and our journey into parenthood. I now know that I have the knowledge, belief, trust and power in my mind and body for birth and beyond. That really is incredibly invaluable and I would (and have) highly recommended to others. Thank you so much!

This course is incredible! It provided me with so much knowledge and understanding about birth and what to expect in every possible scenario during labour. It gave me all the tools and advice to help me through my pregnancy and labour.
Thanks to this course I had the most positive birth (first baby).
Using the breathing techniques from this course (in for 4 out for 7) I managed really well at home and ended up getting to hospital and being ready to push.
The course is really cheap considering how much it can help get rid of any fear or uncertainty and I genuinely believe it is the only reason my birth experience was so amazing.
Love that you can also have it the course forever and use it again for your next pregnancy and birth.
Would 100% recommend.

For me knowledge is really important, and Beth’s course filled me with all the knowledge I needed but being completely impartial and not pushy to one thing or another. I’ve recommend her to my friends and family as the course was everything I needed to make an informed decision about my baby’s arrival 🥰

I was so anxious about attending this scan. I was booked in for a well-being and gender scan as I had been unwell. All staff were so friendly and helpful and put me at ease. I will definitely be back in the future for more scans.

I just wanted to say how grateful I was for finding The Bump to Baby Chapter. I gave birth to my son on Tuesday and the course helped me to stay calm throughout. This was my first pregnancy and I had around two and a half hours between my contractions starting and my son being born. I felt as though I was well informed beforehand regarding pain relief and what to expect afterwards due to all of the information on the course. I wasn’t in the hospital long enough to have any pain relief but it was nice to know what the options were; I was offered gas and air, I remember saying “maybe in a minute” and that’s around the time my son was born.
So thank you for making this first time mum feel confident and calm throughout labour.

I bought the course at around 38 weeks in preparation for the birth of my first baby. I ended up being 10 days overdue so had plenty of time to revisit the chapters! I was advised an induction at 41 weeks and after three days from when the induction started I had an emergency c-section after I was 2cm dilated after 12hrs of ‘early labour’ and my baby’s heart rate was raised and wouldn’t come down so they were worried there may be an infection. Prior to doing the course, I had always said the two things I didn’t want was an epidural or a c-section - but ended up having both! Doing the course enabled me to be prepared for all possibilities, make informed decisions using EBRAN and all the techniques. It helped that I was already aware that there would be a lot of people in theatre if I were to have a c-section, their roles, epidural etc as it still enabled me to have a positive birth experience (even though my birth plan/preferences went out the window!). I will definitely be recommending the course to any pregnant friends/family, and be using it myself for any future pregnancies. I am glad I came across The Bump to Baby Chapter as I believe if I hadn’t, with the induction/emergency c-section I had, I wouldn’t have had a positive birth experience without the knowledge/expertise of Beth.

I found this course via insta and was looking for something for baby 2. I wanted a refresher and to learn the lessons of my first birth. I knew I didn’t want something too “hypnobirth” and definitely something positive. This course was perfect. It allowed myself and my partner to reflect upon our first birth in a positive way as well as being super informative. It also gave me a series of practices to go back to on the run up to birth. When my contractions started I knew exactly how to feel and what to do. Even when my waters broke and my daughter had meconium inside I had Beth in my head saying “baby might just need a poo” whilst also knowing I should ring triage. I stayed upright and forward and spent 1 hour in active labour before pushing out my daughter with gas and air. I felt confident and so did my partner. We had a plan and we had a mindset that whatever happened we would stay positive. Thank you to the bump to baby chapter.

We were quite late starting Beth’s course, I was 32 weeks pregnant. After many weeks of HG, I hadn’t previously been able to emotionally face birth prep (first time mummy alert).
Despite my fear of all things body, medical and blood tests, I watched each episode over around two weeks with my equally squeamish husband and we felt our worries melt away and our ‘we got this’ confidence emerge. Beth has such a lovely way of conveying her experience in an approachable and straight talking, fun way. We made notes, filled in the birth plan & we took it to our delivery.
The course helped us in so many ways. Firstly, it was so informative and approachable for novice parents-to-be, but also guided us through what may happen and prompted us to have conversations about what we might do in certain situations so we were the best prepared we could be.
I decided as a result of this course, I would stay completely calm and focus on keeping my oxytocin levels high, when my contractions eventually came. I followed the breathing techniques when they came, maybe a bit too well, as I ended up arriving at the hospital completely calm and 7cm! This body phobic gal gave birth with zero pain relief, and due to an interesting twist near the end, an episiotomy with no anaesthetic. Just breathing, and knowing with utter conviction that we could use our EBRAN that Beth taught us and we would make the right choices for our baby.

I’m so pleased we found your courses Beth and I’ve since really enjoyed being part of the Facebook groups too.

Thank you millions x

Hands down the BEST money we spent during my pregnancy.

I'd always dreamt of being a Mum; I'd worn the Auntie hat for long enough, and so when my turn came, I was more than ready and super excited for the journey ahead. However, despite having lots of experience with little ones, I realised that I (and my fiancé) knew very little about the antenatal period and labour itself. Furthermore, as the first of my friends to be expecting a baby, I was a little worried about being lonely.

As an ex-midwife herself, my Mum had recommended that I go to some midwife-led antenatal classes. I'd heard amazing things about The Bump to Baby Chapter's online course already, but decided to take advantage of the fact I lived locally and enrolled onto the in-person classes back in November 2021. I wanted to do TBTBC over NCT because it seemed much more friendly, wholesome, inclusive, less 'scripted', and, moreover, offered a more experienced and well-rounded teachings.

Well, what can I say. I don't want to give too much away, because you'll need to find out for yourself... BUT, I cannot fault anything about my experience. Not only did Adam and I come away full to the brim with knowledge, from knowing the 'labour timeline' to the different types of nappies we could expect (marmite played a central role here!), but we had such a laugh doing it all too, and were genuinely gutted when our 4 weeks came to an end.

Oli, our course leader/midwife, was absolutely AMAZING. Like Beth, she was the oracle of all knowledge and kept everything so fun and interactive, just as Beth does on the online course/social media. There's no pretence here, you get exactly what you see on the tin (and a LOT more). Alongside having all of our questions answered, myths zapped, and fears fought with knowledge (it really is power), we also gained the most incredible Baby Squad we could have imagined.

We were both a bit worried that as we were younger (25 & 23), that we might not 'fit in' with the group, or that we'd be judged for being younger parents. This couldn't have been further from the truth. Age (and any background in general) really doesn't matter when you're a parent. You're all in the same boat, and everyone just wants to support one another. We honestly have the BEST group of 'baby friends' now, who we still see on a regular basis, and us Mums still have a very active WhatsApp group going on too.

TBTBC gave me more than I could have ever expected, and I will be eternally grateful for everything I learnt and gained through investing in this piece of magic. Thank you SO much Beth & co for helping to get us to where we are now xxx

This course changed my life! Not only it gave me the preparation I needed for labour but it also keeps helping me with knowledge to take care of my newborn. I keep logging in every day as I can’t remember all but I know where to find the answers when I need them! The baby chapter has been my saviour! I totally recommend this course!

The absolute best thing I got to prepare for my labour and birth. I ended up in an emergency section singing along to my playlist and smiling thanks to the techniques I used in this course! The mixture of hypnobirthing and antenatal education is excellent for helping you to both prepare for and cope with your birth - I actually enjoyed mine!

I cannot recommend this course enough! I’ve already have 3 of my friends doing it. It completely made me feel in charge of my labour even when my original plan went out the window, I had all the knowledge I needed to have a really enjoyable and empowering birth.

Beth delivered the course in a way that was very easy to understand and provided lots of helpful information. As first time parents it really helped us have the knowledge to know what to expect and how we can make informed decisions when it came to the birth of our son. My birth ended up being an emergency c-section but because I knew that birth plans don’t always go to plan I didn’t find it traumatic, I was able to stay calm and ask the right questions.

Thank you for this course beth, you are helping lots of parents!

It’s a great easy to digest course. And Beth is very sweet and down to earth in the videos. She did put me at ease for many topics.

It’s not going a lot into the hypnobirthing part. But the educational part is amazing and definitely the most important. I complimented this course with an othert hypnobirthing materials (the Morgan method)

I’m so glad I purchased Beth’s course, knowledge is definitely power! Beth’s videos made it easy to learn all things labour and what options were available to me. I could also keep going back to them to keep all info fresh in my mind. My husband also learned the course along with me and he felt it really helped him to be able to support me throughout labour.

I was 41 weeks when I was offered a sweep, but this couldn’t be done due to my cervix not being dilated enough, so I was booked in for an induction the following week. However my waters broke at 41+2 and my surges started early the following morning. As my surges ramped up I continued to use the breathing techniques I learned from the course, and was able to reach 7cm with only breathing, a couple of baths, and nice lighting/music/essential oils. The midwives kept telling me how good my breathing was! I then had some gas and air which helped take the edge off. By the time our third and final midwife joined my birthing suite, I was definitely feeling the pressure in my lower back and wanted to push. The midwife checked and advised me that although I was 9.5cm dilated, I had an anterior lip, so she suggested turning onto my side and putting my outside leg on her shoulder for support. At this point I was feeling even more pressure and asked for other pain relief. I knew in my mind that I was almost fully dilated and was past the point of having an epidural, but that didn’t stop me asking, which I understand from the course is the transition stage! The midwife humoured me and discussed the pain relief options (rather than tell me I was past them) which actually helped calm me down. She checked me again and confirmed I was fully dilated at the stroke of midnight and could start pushing. It took me a few attempts to grasp the down-breathing but once I did I felt like I could power through, and knew my baby was nearly here!

At 1.29am our boy arrived into the world! I did have a tear from the birth however this was dealt with swiftly as I held my son for skin to skin contact.

I would recommend this course to every mum and dad to be!

We did the bump chapter and the baby chapter. They are hands down one of our best investments for our baby. Throughout labour, I felt knowledgeable and my husband was definitely glad we had done the course as he knew what to expect too.

If you are considering doing this course, I highly recommend it. Beth's approach is balanced and informative, and she is really easy to listen to and learn from.
