Frequently Asked Questions

Bump and Bloom is a modern, midwife-led antenatal service based right here in Oadby, Leicestershire. Founded by Maryam, a qualified and experienced Midwife, our mission is to provide a warm, non-judgmental, and empowering space for expectant parents. We focus on small, interactive group courses that not only prepare you for birth and beyond but also help you build a vital support network of local friends.

Our antenatal course is delivered over four weekly sessions. Each session is 90 minutes long and takes place on the same day and time each week, making it easy to fit into your schedule.

This structure allows us to cover key topics in manageable depth each week, giving you time to digest the information and come back with questions. It also allows you to connect with other local expectant parents.

You can book our Antenatal Courses on our website or directly here. Alternatively, drop us an email or DM on instagram (see footer for links).

Our courses are designed for any expectant parent looking to feel prepared and confident for their journey ahead. Each course booking covers two people: the pregnant person and one birth partner.

Your birth partner can be anyone you choose to be your key support person- your spouse, partner, a family member, a close friend, or your doula.

You can contact us by email at bumpandbloommidwife@gmail.com or using the Contact Form on our website.

To foster the best group dynamic and ensure a complete learning experience, our courses are designed as a full series. Because of this structure, we cannot offer make-up classes or refunds for missed sessions. We encourage you to check your calendar carefully before booking to ensure you can join us for all the dates.

We understand that exceptional circumstances can occur. All requests to cancel a course booking must be made in writing by emailing us at [bumpandbloommidwife@gmail.com].
