Does this sound like you?
You know you deserve more than the system can provide.
• You want a different birth experience to last time?
• You want to learn how to make this birth and recovery better
• You’re worrying about how to juggle looking after another baby with the one you already have?!
• You want the transition to be as easy as possible for your eldest – and yourself!
What if things could be amazing?
Imagine approaching your birth with full trust in yourself. Knowing that what happened last time doesn’t need to dictate this journey, this birth, this recovery.
Feeling calm and prepared, knowing your options, trusting and understanding your body. Understanding that birth IS us, and not something that happens TO us, and feeling equipped to make choices that are right for you.
Imagine holding your newborn, and introducing them to your older one(s) feeling empowered by your knowledge and experience, and ready to embrace parenthood. With plans in place to navigate any tricky hurdles, with the right support and knowledge.
You already know that the way you birth impacts your early parenting journey. Taking control of your birth is so important.
What happened with your previous birth does not need to dictate this journey, and this birth.
You can achieve an amazing, positive birth, on your terms. It might just take a bit of work, belief and the right support. When you have a positive birth, the early days of parenting are that much easier.
We’ll take you through everything you need to know when preparing for another baby. How much has changed since your last baby? How can you have a different birth experience? What am I supposed to do when one is crying and the other is having a tantrum?!
The time is whizzing by uncontrollably, and it can sometimes feel like you are just expected to know the answers! As overwhelming as it might seem right now, you have managed it before and come through the other side.
I know you want to be prepared, knowing how to give yourself the best possible chance of adapting confidently. Having taken control of the controllables when it comes to pregnancy, birth and the postnatal days.
That’s why I am so excited to welcome you to…

Client Feedback
“We had a successful home birth on Sunday (born on baby’s due date!), which was a good thing as it was only 1.5hrs of established labour!
Big brother can say her name, and sometimes is quite affectionate toward her, but other times says “no baby” and tries to push her away – it’s early days!”
.
Sarah – Refresher Antenatal Course
“This labour was SO much better than the first. Your refresher antenatal course helped so much for the labour, it was much calmer than the first and much more controlled. The breathing techniques were so helpful – I breathed her out!”
.
Priya – Refresher Antenatal classes Welwyn Hatfield
“Our little lady arrived on Sunday evening and we couldn’t be happier! I stayed home until the contractions were intense and close together, my waters broke in the car. I felt the urge to push in the car park and 45 min later she was in my arms!! The breathing techniques were amazing and all I needed. Thank you Jilly for giving me the confidence to have the best birthing experience possible.”
Jo – Refresher Antenatal Course Welwyn Garden City
Hi, I’m Jilly and I’m your teacher…
I know the power of good antenatal education, I’ve been a hypnobirthing, active birth and antenatal teacher since 2014.
There is so little local support and education available for those who have given birth before, but you need just as much support and empowerment as first time parents to be!
I came into this business after a difficult birth experience with my first, and wanted to find a different way for any future babies I had. The information I’d received at my NCT Antenatal Classes didn’t prepare me for the realities of giving birth in the NHS. And I’ve discovered during the past 10 years that other popular antenatal courses also don’t prepare you for the realities – they focus more on the social aspect, which I spend a lot of time focusing on after baby has been born.
I discovered through my training, how amazing it is to combine hypnobirthing and body mechanics science. Safe to say, my second birth experience was a world away from my first – and one I still smile about now, 8 years on! And what I didn’t anticipate is how much better my postnatal and parenting experience was, because I’d had a birth where I felt in control.
What I learned is that when you do proper research ahead of time and put together a properly informed birth plan, when you understand the birth process and how to work with your body, when you have a whole bunch of tricks up your sleeve for coping with labour sensations…you can turn any birth journey into a positive one.
