Booking and Payment

Bookings must be made and paid for online.

Our courses are open to all pregnant women and their birth partners. Booking one place on a course is for up to two people to attend; pregnant women may attend on their own or with a partner of their choice.

Our practitioners offer evidence-based information and encourage women and their partners to make their own informed decisions. At no point should this information be taken as offering medical advice.

Refund policy

Cancellation by you six or more weeks ahead of the course start date will receive a full refund less an administration charge of £25.

Cancellation by you less than six weeks ahead of the course start date will receive a 50% refund.

If you have started your course, you will not usually be eligible for any refunds unless there are special circumstances such as medical reasons, or if, after the first session of the course you feel it doesn’t meet your expectations.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give this course more than five stars I would. About birth and babies (and Sian especially) is a complete must for any expecting parents. The course itself fully prepared us for the birth of our first child. It gave us confidence to make informed decisions before the birth and (when things didn’t go to plan) it allowed us to make rapid informed decisions throughout labour. However, what really stands for me is the incredible after care that Sian gave us after the birth. Like (most?) expecting dads I gave little thought to the days and weeks after the birth, with most of my attention focused solely on the birth itself. When my wife ran into some really worrying and painful breast feeding problems Sian was there for us every step of the way to help resolve this issue. Without her interventions (some of which were in unsociable hours) we would have given up on breastfeeding. Can’t recommend highly enough. Rob and Ola

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have just finished our private 1:1 antenatal course with Sian, and we would absolutely recommend. She is very thorough, and has a lot of knowledge about each subject. We felt that she covered everything, & we are now prepared for our journey ahead. We loved that the classes were very hands on as it gave us the opportunity to practice.
Sian has since sent us multiple handouts & recommendations for us to look back through, which we are finding useful as the classes were a lot to take in. Going forward if we were to have another baby we would definitely choose About Birth & Babies & will also highly recommend to anyone having a baby. Sian is fantastic! We can’t thank her enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We took Sian's antenatal class and so very pleased we did!  She is extremely knowledgeable about everything babies and we felt so well informed and ready for when baby arrived.  She gave us the confidence and information we needed to have the labour and birth we had hoped for.  She has a huge network of contacts throughout Norfolk which made finding other services stress free.  Excellent value for money and I could not recommend more highly.  Thank you Sian!!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Extremely knowledgeable, Sian guides you through the birthing experience, and care of your baby in a friendly and informative way. Plenty of opportunities to discuss things as a group, ask questions and review topics if needed. I particularly enjoyed the practical elements.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 100% recommend for any parents who have plenty of questions and want to be as prepared as possible.

We both learnt a lot about pain management options during labour as well as the important roll your birthing partner plays. My husband definitely felt more confident and prepared about what was to come and so did I.

Met some lovely people who were due around the same time as us. So glad we  made the decision to attend these antenatal classes.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Just finished the Full Antenatal Class with Sian. Found it so helpful and learnt loads about pregnancy, labour and baby care. Sian is excellent and incredibly knowledgeable. Was a great chance to meet other parents too. Would recommend this class to any new parent as we are feeling so much more prepared and confident now!
