I am Angie, your local AAA teacher. My course in Worcestershire provides tailor made antenatal classes which focus 50% on your birth and 50% on the early days of parenthood.

Grandparents Workshop

Our Grandparents Workshop are incredibly popular and help ensure that extended family members supporting new parents and offering childcare are up to date with current guidelines and advice.

Guidelines have changed a lot over the years and new parents can often find it hard to get grandparents onboard with following the most up to date baby-care advice. This can leave them feeling slightly anxious.

This workshop will cover;

Safe Sleep Advice: The most up-to-date advice on how to reduce the risks of SIDS and to ensure your baby is sleeping safely.
Infant Feeding: The most up-to-date advice on how to prepare and store formula safely as well as normal new-born feeding patterns.
Introducing Solids: Up-to-date advice on introducing solids.
Support: Ways to best support new parents and modern approaches to parenting.
Baby First Aid: Choking and Baby CPR led by Daisy First
Aid.

Sessions take place in Bromsgrove (B60/B61). For full dates and times see below.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot thank Angie enough for her course!

We signed up as the NHS classes didn’t work for us during working hours and I did a fair bit of research for local classes. Initially I wasn’t sure about a smaller class but thought it might also give us a chance to ask questions and be more involved and we are so glad we found Angie!

Her classes are factual, rooted in science and informing you to be aware of your choices. She doesn’t try to push any type of birth, feeding style, birth choices/plans - but encourages you to understand yourself, your body and your options.

I can safely say my husband and I are now both on the same page and I feel so much more connected with him as well - initially feeling like I was preaching to him everything birth related and worrying it would fall to me primarily, to him telling me all the things he researched around the classes every week.

Anyone unsure of classes, please book with Angie! It is the best money we have spent so far to have confidence in ourselves going into the birth and the 4th trimester!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Me and my partner did Angie’s 1-1 sessions and we couldn’t feel more prepared for our little one than we do now!

Angie is a fantastic teacher but also someone who can talk from her own experiences which helps you to feel relaxed and at ease.

We would 100% recommend the course to anyone who wants to learn more about birth and baby. We will be forever grateful!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We found Angie after a Google search when the NHS and NCT courses didn’t feel quite right for us, and we’re so glad we did! From the very first session, Angie’s open-minded, non-judgemental approach made us feel comfortable and empowered. Rather than telling us what to do, she provided balanced, evidence-based information that helped us feel much more confident in making our own decisions about labour, birth, and early parenthood.
Each session was incredibly informative, well-organised, and packed with useful resources. We particularly appreciated the follow-up emails after every class, which summarised the key topics covered and included additional reading and resources to explore at our own pace.
We also took advantage of Angie’s Grandparent Workshop, which my parents thoroughly enjoyed. They found it really helpful to learn about current guidance and gained a better understanding of how they could support us as new parents. Another fantastic part of the package was the mini first aid session, which we completed after our baby arrived. As first-time parents, we found this incredibly reassuring and valuable.
Angie’s support didn’t stop when the course ended. She continued to be a wonderful source of encouragement before and after birth, organising mama meet-ups and recommending other local services to support maternal wellbeing, including pre- and postnatal massages and support groups.
We genuinely couldn’t recommend Angie highly enough. Her warmth, knowledge, and ongoing support made such a positive difference to our journey into parenthood. If you’re looking for an antenatal course that is informative, inclusive, and truly supportive, Angie is fantastic. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Angie’s courses. Informative, friendly, relaxed and really welcoming. I did a grandparents course to prepare me for our new arrival, and update my knowledge. I have just  followed up with a weaning course so I have all the relevant information to support my daughter and son-in-law. Would highly recommend.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So grateful to have had Angie based locally to us as this course has been such a game changer! My husband & I have walked away feeling empowered about birth & early newborn days & we actually really enjoyed every session (which is usually hard for my husband with his short attention span!!). So glad we chose this course & excited for the future reunions xx

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot thank Angie enough for the time and energy she puts not only into these antenatal sessions but also her other support during and after pregnancy. As someone who was originally going to wing the birth I’m so glad I didn’t! I was able to follow my gut and avoid unneeded interventions. I wrote a birth plan considering all options and felt confident in what I wanted. I ended up coming away from birth knowing that everything had been my choice. My mum also did the grandparent course and found it very useful to learn about the changes in advice and guidelines. 100% recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We booked our private 1-2-1 antenatal sessions with Angie after moving hospital trusts and not able to book onto any group sessions - we are so glad it panned out that way!

Angie has been so personable, patient and understanding throughout for my partner and I. I tend to be quite inquisitive and like to know the ‘why’ behind any recommendation and Angie’s science background was so helpful for this. My partner likes to take notes and resource for this was provided. Angie shared so many helpful videos and tips through email and WhatsApp throughout our course.

Honestly, we didn’t realise what we didn’t know and felt very unprepared prior to starting the course. Whilst you’re likely never going to feel fully ready, we honestly feel a lot more settled and aware of what to look out for, what to ask when and have a brilliant resource to troubleshoot any problems along the way.

Thank you so much - highly recommended.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot recommend Angie highly enough. Every session was invaluable, we learnt so much and now feel as prepared as we can. No question is too much and she is so knowledgeable. Her emails after each session sum everything up perfectly and give lots of links for further information. We have loved it. Thank you 😊

As first-time grandparents, we found the workshop to be essential, offering up-to-date information, advice, and guidance to help us support our children on their journey as new parents. Every element of the workshop was relevant, and the first aid training was imperative, equipping us with vital skills for emergencies.

We are so glad our daughter and son-in-law invested in this learning and included us in the process. Angie's delivery was clear, and her knowledge and understanding were exemplary. The setting was relaxed and calm, and we had fun too.

Highly recommend!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. With personalised 1:1 sessions in the comfort of our home, we wholeheartedly recommend Angie at All About Antenatal. Each session was engaging and informative, and Angie personalised the content to match our circumstances which we found extremely helpful. Our confidence has grown and we feel so much more prepared and supported for the journey ahead. We already miss our weekly sessions (and biscuits) but Angie is still in contact providing relevant material and information. Thank you so much Angie 🌷

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would describe Ange at All About Antenatal Worcestershire as a passionate, dedicated and knowledgeable teacher, with a wide range of personal experience following her own experience of two pregnancies and births. Her classes offer plenty of information about key antenatal aspects which are much more comprehensive than other cheap online courses. This knowledge is invaluable when parents to be are having to make crucial decisions about a type of birth to have, pain relief options or looking after their newborn baby, etc.
Ange provided me with a lot of wonderful support during my second pregnancy and I can't recommend her and her business enough to any expectant family.  Let me reassure you, knowledge is power in these life changing situations.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Attending Angie’s antenatal course was the best decision we've made! After just one class, my husband couldn't stop raving about it. The course was informative, engaging, and truly prepared us for the journey ahead. We feel more confident and supported, thanks to the invaluable knowledge and guidance provided even after the course has finished. Highly recommended!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I would thoroughly recommend Angie at All About Antenatal. Thanks to Angie my confidence in my abilities as a mother increased. We were able to gain skills and have information about safer sleep, breastfeeding, bottle feeding, bathing and first aid (plus lots more). Just having those tools have helped me in the most anxious time of my life. I didn't grow up with babies and young children in my family so I knew I needed some way of learning before bringing my little boy into the world. Angie helped create a sense of community and build an army in which our children will have for support.
Plus it's not often that an antenatal course becomes a post natal course in the space of 2 weeks and all the babies come to the final session 🧡
