NowBaby Reviews
NowBaby’s expert help from pregnancy to pre-school is loved by our customers. Here’s what some of them have to say about our antenatal and parenting classes.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Somto
This was an amazing experience, and right from the comfort of our home. The midwives were very experienced and answered all our questions from a place of expertise. Very information-packed, and you get the notes and recording afterwards too. Highly recommend – also cheaper than some of the other private ones out there but I really don’t know if those add much more info. The 2-day weekend class was sufficient for us.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Helen
Amina explained everything very clearly and I great detail, nothing was rushed. I only did the postnatal class and was really helpful, more covered than I thought. Thankyou 😀🙏
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Swati Rao
Fantastic 8 session antenatal course, highly recommend!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Jody & Mo
Great weekend classes. Incredibly informative and easily digestible information. Amina was knowledgeable and really helpful and patient. Great to have extra notes and the recordings made available as well. Would highly recommend. Very good value for money!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Rachel Arajs
“We did the 2 x weekend Now Baby sessions this week as it was the best option for our schedules and Despina, the midwife doing the class, was great. It was around 8 hours in total and covered everything from labour stages, pain relief and induction to caring for new baby, feeding and a bit of safety/CPR. Plenty of opportunities for questions and we learnt a lot! Thank you Despina!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Holly Sheldon
“Incredible course, really informative and friendly. You could ask any questions needed and would feel comfortable doing so, loved that they send you out all of the information after the class so you could really concentrate during the sessions.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Caroline Jean Hodges
“My partner and I did an online antenatal course with Nowbaby, made up of 8 classes spread over 4 weeks. The course was run by Despina who was excellent, really friendly and great at putting our minds at ease. The course was well-structured and informative, covering a wide range of topics not only related to the birth and the practical elements, but also what happens afterwards, including what the new parents can expect and really helpful tips related to breastfeeding and first aid. Despina was incredibly knowledgeable and left lots of space for questions from everyone who was taking part in the classes. I really enjoyed the course and the way it was run, and it has definitely made me feel so much more prepared. Would recommend 100%!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Jaspreet Malle
“We did this course across a weekend, split into 2, 4 hour sessions. This was one of the main appeals to booking this course and Amina was brilliant!
The whole process on Zoom was very smooth (off times she did go a bit quiet after showing a video) but once you told her she would move closer to her mic.
She was so informative and really helpful in answering any questions people had.
Biggest bonus was how reassuring she made you feel when you asked something personal related to your pregnancy.
I would definitely recommend booking this antenatal course for any first time mums.
They also send you the recording of the sessions, so that you can revisit.
Thanks again NowBaby Live Team x”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Robyn Cadman
“I would highly recommend Now Baby antenatal classes. I did the 4 week course and it was very informative, putting me at ease and answering all of my questions, queries and worries as a first time mum. Amina, the midwife who ran the class was absolutely fantastic and encouraged everyone to interact and ask questions making you feel at ease and getting the most out of the classes. I wish she was my midwife! Thank you Now baby and to Amina for the positive impact you have had on my preganacy journey so far. A course great value for money and would definitely do again!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Sarah Pybus
“Fantastic course. Amina is a wonderful source of knowledge and guidance. The breadth of the course is really good especially for first time parents; including the birth process, pain management, caring for your new baby, breastfeeding and baby first aid. It’s also great value compared to the price for courses from face to face providers with ample opportunity for engagement and asking questions. I love that we could get the benefits of this learning via zoom and attend from home as alternative F2F providers were not local.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Rachel Allison-Burke
“My husband and I finished our NowBaby antenatal course last night and we’d definitely recommend it. As first time parents the course covered everything we needed. We were mostly taught by Despina. She was excellent! The course is well run ad we feel confident ahead of our babies arrival in the next few weeks :-)”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Heather Cobb
“Antenatal Class: Weekend sessions, 9:30-1:30: This was such a great course. It was led by a very experienced midwife who gave us a lot of information, demonstrates, examples and answered everyone’s questions comprehensively. She was very clear, articulate and able to provide lots of real-world scenarios for us to learn from. I feel very well-informed now! Would highly recommend.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Erica Karmios
“The course was fantastic, informative and easy to follow. Amina was professional, caring and experienced in midwifery. 100% recommend for first time mums and partners. We learned a lot! Thank you!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Maisie Dudley
“Just amazing. It’s a minefield looking for antenatal classes, especially as they’re all online now. I was skeptical paying £90 for classes, but at £11.25 a class/90 minute session, it was so worth it. Despina is a fantastic midwife and teacher and we have learnt so much from her. The classes were so informative, non-judgemental and we could feel our confidence growing each week. It was nice to be in a small group with the same people each week, knowing it was ok to ask questions about that topic, however ‘silly’ they may feel.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Ceylan & Aytan Mustafa
“My husband and I recently completed our NowBaby Live Antenatal course with Amina (4 week course). The course was excellent and we would recommend it to other parents-to-be. As first time parents we were looking for a comprehensive course and felt the topics covered were extremely useful. The course was reasonably priced compared to competitors.
The course was online, which meant we were able to log on in the evenings in the comfort of our own home and this was not too demanding after work as we didn’t have to travel.
The groups are small enough to ask as many questions as you like and you can also learn from others. There’s no pressure to speak or contribute if you don’t initially feel comfortable and as the course goes on, you get to know the midwife and other parents-to-be. This makes the experience personal, engaging and supportive.
We tried other free courses online, provided by other companies but felt that their full courses were not as comprehensive/reasonably priced and from their free taster sessions, the midwifes weren’t as approachable as Amina was.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Elise Hynes
“Very informative and well worth the money. Amina the midwife who lead the sessions was very friendly and made everything easy to understand.
Would recommend the course to any first time parents.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Saphire Sheppard
“I couldn’t recommend this company enough. Value for money with the amount of information you get is amazing. We’ve had 3 different midwives do the classes and they’ve all been so professional and helpful. You’re able to ask as many questions as you like as well as email in if needed. I feel 100 times more confident having done this course.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Roshni SA
“The classes conducted by Despina and Heather were truly beneficial and informative. They were more valuable as they were interactive sessions where you can clear your doubts and ask questions then and there and they would patiently answer all of them.
Thank you for the classes and also for the valuable tips and tricks to follow.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Vicky Keeler
“This was a fantastic course. As a first time mum it really helped. Lots of great information and resources sent out after the classes. Highly recommend this course to any new or second/third time mums!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Kj C
“Thank you to Despina and Heather for a very clear informative and reassuring course. I also loved the idea of a copy of session with notes to keep via email so I can use this to revise any necessary information I am not sure about. Everything was explained in great detail and as a result of this course I now feel a lot more confident and reassured with the birth process, post natal care and welcoming my first baby! Thank you NowBaby.”
