Welcome! I’m Glad You’re Here

Hello, I’m Maryam, a qualified and experienced Midwife, and the founder of Bump and Bloom. I live and work in Leicester, and I am deeply passionate about supporting local parents on their incredible journey to meeting their baby.

My Story

Throughout my years working as a midwife, I’ve had the privilege of supporting hundreds of families through the beautiful, transformative moments of pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. I noticed time and again that while parents had access to information, what they truly craved was confidence, community, and a safe space to ask their questions without judgment.

I identified a real need for a different kind of antenatal preparation. A space that felt more like a conversation with a trusted friend than a classroom lecture. A place that not only prepared you for labour but also prepared you for life as a new parent, with a supportive community right by your side.

I wanted to create a course that was warm, non-judgmental, and celebrated every family's unique path. And so, Bump and Bloom was born—from a desire to help you feel truly seen, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

The Bump and Bloom Difference

• Midwife-Led Expertise: My clinical background means all our content is evidence-based, up-to-date, and delivered with a deep understanding of the maternity system.

• Small, Intimate Groups: We deliberately keep our groups small. This ensures you feel comfortable enough to ask anything that’s on your mind and have time for personalised discussions.

• A Focus on Community: We believe a support network is one of the most important things you can have. Our courses are designed to help you build genuine, lasting friendships with other local parents.

• Empowerment for ALL Births: We hold a non-judgmental space for all choices. Our goal is to give you the confidence to navigate your journey, no matter what your birth story becomes.
