About Talking Babies

Welcome to ‘Talking Babies’. We aim to present antenatal classes that are fun, relaxed and informative.

Emily the course leader is fully qualified, experienced and a practising midwife. Perhaps more importantly, she is also a mother. Our friendly antenatal classes consist of four informal classes. She will cover an array of topics within pregnancy, birth and the early days. She will encourage social reunions, where you can meet again, share your birth stories and most importantly meet your new arrivals. Building invaluable, lifelong friendships.

The sea of information out there can be quite daunting. Let us help you to learn the facts and empower you with knowledge. Our classes are focused around today’s care and advice, what to expect and how to get the most from your experience.

We recommend you start our classes when you are around 30 weeks pregnant. However, please contact us if you wish to attend when further on or earlier in your pregnancy.

Course leader

Emily (Bournemouth, Poole & Christchurch)

I’m Emily. I qualified as a midwife in Devon over ten years ago and continue to practice today within Dorset.

Perhaps more importantly, I am also a mother to two lovely daughters. I have experienced local maternity hospitals both professionally and as a mother. Therefore, I am able to give a unique, unbiased perspective of each. I am passionate about ensuring mothers-to-be are given accurate and informative information on how to get the very best from their birth experience.

For insurance purposes, during our classes your course leader will not be able to offer hands-on Midwifery care. Should any issues or concerns arise we will encourage you to immediately contact your local maternity care provider.
