Congratulations on your pregnancy!
Our Bump antenatal course will help prepare you for parenthood, from knowing what to expect with a physiological or an abdominal birth, to being as mentally and physically prepared as possible for the arrival of your child, and the days, weeks and months that follow.
The course combines a comprehensive antenatal course to ensure you have a calm and confident birth experience and prepare you for the practical side and how to look after and care for your baby and yourself.
It contains a series of video workshops and audio guides from leading, trusted birth, antenatal and support specialists and Midwives who give not only their professional expertise, but practical tools and information to make sure your journey to meeting and caring for your baby is as positive as it can be.
As well as covering all of the basics we also look at topics that are not generally included in other parenting courses.

"Having just had a baby six weeks ago, Komu has been invaluable to me. Sure, there’s plenty of information out there on the internet, but often it’s out of date and there’s often conflicting advice. I trust Komu because it is created by a Midwife alongside lots of experts who offer their professional advice and first-hand experience. Everything about the Course has been incredibly useful and it’s nice to have everything you need in one place rather than having to Google each time. I would definitely recommend it to all expecting parents."
