Working with Tina Perridge at
Antenatal Courses
Fun, friendly & relaxed
As an antenatal teacher I offer evidence-based, practical and easy to understand birth preparation to expecting women and their chosen birth partners.
My in-person antenatal groups are fun, friendly and relaxed. Providing a safe, supportive and non-judgemental space for expecting parents to explore your birth options. I’ll guide you through the full range of choices and options available to you in local maternity services, help you understand your rights and preferences and give you tips on navigating the system to ensure your voice is heard and your preferences are respected by those caring for you.
As a local Mum I know how vital it is to build a supportive social network during pregnancy: I encourage my groups to build genuine connections that go beyond our sessions - helping you create your own parenting community to support you through labour, birth and early parenthood.
