​The Complete Set is a comprehensive antenatal course, designed to support you from early pregnancy right through to life with your newborn. This online, pre-recorded course gives you the knowledge, practical skills and confidence to feel prepared, informed and empowered every step of the way.

 

You’ll start by building a strong foundation for a healthy pregnancy, learning about nutrition, exercise and the normal physical changes you can expect. I’ll guide you through common pregnancy complaints, help you recognise potential complications, and explain when and how to seek help. You’ll also learn practical skills such as pelvic floor exercises, perineal massage, and colostrum harvesting, including the benefits for both you and your baby.

​

As your pregnancy progresses, I'll walk you through what to expect from your antenatal care, help you start thinking about your birth plan, and guide you through packing your hospital bag. You’ll gain a clear understanding of vitamin K, the different stages of labour, how labour begins, and what each stage may look and feel like. I'll also cover induction of labour, pain relief options and their side effects, optimal positions for labour and birth, and how your birth partner can best support you.

​

You’ll explore your choices for where to give birth and learn what to expect if you need an assisted birth or caesarean section. I also discuss episiotomy and perineal tears, recovery after birth, and how to recognise signs of concern in both you and your baby during the postnatal period.

​

The course continues into early parenthood, covering essential newborn care skills such as soothing techniques, safe sleeping, and practical day-to-day baby care. I’ll talk about infant feeding, helping you recognise feeding cues and think about how you’d like to feed your baby. For those breastfeeding, you’ll learn about positioning and attachment, what makes a good latch, how to recognise when your baby is feeding well, how to manage common breastfeeding challenges, and when to seek support. I'll also cover how to safely pump, store and use expressed breast milk.

​

Finally, I'll address the emotional side of becoming a parent, helping you recognise and manage the emotional challenges that can come with having a newborn, alongside important postnatal practicalities and self-care.

​

The Complete Set is ideal if you want one all-inclusive antenatal course that equips you with evidence-based information, practical skills and reassurance – all delivered in a flexible format you can watch at your own pace, from the comfort of your own home.
