MIDWIFE-LED ANTENATAL COURSES & BREASTFEEDING SUPPORT IN NORFOLK
"I strongly believe that new parents have a significantly higher chance of having a positive birth experience if they are prepared for all eventualities."
Hey! I'm Andrea,
WELCOME TO THE BIRTH PREPARATION COMPANY
My name is Andrea, I am a mum of two boys (aged 16 and 7), a practising NHS Midwife and an IBCLC Lactation Consultant.
I have over 10 years’ experience working in an NHS hospital setting, mainly at the Midwife-led Birthing Unit (MLBU), but also Delivery Suite, Antenatal clinic, Antenatal and Postnatal Wards, as well as attending home births. Since 2021 I have been working as an NHS Community Midwife, providing antenatal and postnatal aspects of midwifery care, including antenatal and postnatal clinics and postnatal home visits.
Over the years I have had the privilege of supporting countless women and their families through their pregnancies, labours and births, as well as providing advice and support through the postnatal period and helping women and their families in achieving their breastfeeding goals.
And while I absolutely love being an NHS midwife, I am often faced with many time restrictions in our busy ‘one size fits all’ healthcare system. This is why, 4 years ago, I decided to found my own business, which has allowed me to give more personalised care to my clients. My antenatal courses and lactation services don’t just skim the surface. My mission is to provide my clients with in-depth information so they feel empowered to make informed decisions that are right for them, based on relevant knowledge and their personal beliefs and values.
Book my modern antenatal course in Norfolk which offers evidence-based and unbiased information presented in a friendly and non-judgemental way. The course consists of four weekly sessions, each around 3 hours long.
I offer breastfeeding and postnatal support in your own home anywhere in Norfolk and Suffolk for gentle guidance and advice. I feel passionate about supporting you in achieving your feeding goals in a gentle and calm way.
Join my support group for parents of newborns up to 6 weeks of age located at the beautiful Wymondham Abbey. The group is a great place to meet other new parents and share experiences. Everyone is welcome!
