Modern Midwife-Led Antenatal Classes in Hertfordshire
Feel confident and empowered as you prepare for the birth of your baby and beyond
Hi, I’m Sarah! Mum, Midwife and Your Parent Club Founder
As a qualified midwife with more than a decade of experience, I’ve always believed in the power of antenatal education – so much so, I even invested in private antenatal classes during my own pregnancy.
Despite my medical background, I felt it was an important rite of passage for new parents and something I wanted my husband to experience. However, attending these classes, followed by the arrival of our little girl, Maeve, helped me identify huge gaps in the preparation and support available.
My Story
In the end, my pregnancy and birth were far from straightforward. As I was recovering from emergency surgery and unable to assist, my husband found himself caring for a newborn, feeling isolated and overwhelmed.
We quickly realised we hadn’t been given the knowledge and skills needed to truly flourish and thrive as new parents.
My Expertise
With a modern, holistic approach, Your Parent Club fills these gaps. As much as possible, I want to remove fear and leave you feeling brave and ready to face whatever lies ahead. As well as providing practical hands-on knowledge and support, I understand the emotional impact of pregnancy, labour and birth – not to mention the demands of caring for a newborn.
Whatever role you’ll be playing in an upcoming birth – mum, dad, birthing person, partner or extended family member…
Your Parent Club exists to support and empower you as you navigate this life changing experience.
Here’s how I can support you during pregnancy and beyond

Your Parent Club
believes in…
Empowering Parents
The most impactful antenatal education goes beyond the textbook, offering parents a holistic view of what lies ahead. As well as understanding labour and delivery, you need to feel confident and prepared for the days, weeks and months following baby’s arrival.
Providing Practical, Evidence-Based Advice
Group classes and 1:1 sessions are all led by me, Sarah, an NMC registered Midwife. Founded on years of clinical and personal experience, Your Parent Club provides comprehensive, evidence-based, up-to-date information on topics like birth choices, pain relief, infant feeding and more.
Building a Village
Your Parent Club antenatal classes include a social element, connecting you with like-minded parents and local businesses. As well as forming new friendships, you’ll be building a support-network you can rely on for years to come. Regular seasonal events nurture these connections, allowing you to meet everyone’s babies, bond and make memories together.
Honouring the Fourth Trimester
The 12 weeks immediately after a baby is born are a crucial period for all new parents. Alongside the obvious joy and happiness, it’s not uncommon for people to feel overwhelmed, isolated and vulnerable. To guard against this, Your Parent Club arms you with knowledge, friendship, and support designed to help you navigate the challenging fourth trimester.
Get comfy and make yourself at home
Your Parent Club Group Antenatal Classes are held at cosy, inviting venues throughout Hertfordshire. No intimidating clinical spaces or drafty school halls in sight! With an emphasis on comfort, you’re welcome to bring anything that will make the class more enjoyable, for example a pregnancy pillow or your favourite water bottle.
I can’t wait to support you on your journey into parenthood!
