The Midwife Behind the Classes

Hi, I’m Bridie a mum of two and an NHS midwife with over 17 years of experience supporting families in Norwich and the Norfolk area through pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. I’m passionate about helping expectant parents feel informed, confident and prepared for every stage of their journey.

Through my private one-to-one antenatal classes in Norwich and across Norfolk, I provide personalised support that complements your NHS antenatal care. Every session is tailored to you, covering everything from labour and birth preparation to feeding your baby, newborn care and the postnatal period.

I’ve had the privilege of supporting hundreds of families with a wide range of experiences, including first-time parents, growing families, twin pregnancies, same-sex couples, and those welcoming a baby through surrogacy. Whatever the circumstances, my aim is to provide practical, evidence-based guidance in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Most importantly, I offer a space where you can ask every question, receive honest advice and leave feeling calm, confident and ready to welcome your baby.

We also discuss interventions such as induction and caesarean birth, so you feel informed and confident about whatever path your birth may take.

I also offer a dedicated VBAC class for women who have previously had a caesarean birth and would like to explore their options and feel fully supported when planning their next birth.

Bridie was an amazing support and hugely practical. As a midwife and a mother she has an abundance of knowledge and skills to help you through the unknowns of pregnancy and newborns. My husband and I highly recommend her.

H.Bristow

Bridie really catered to our individual questions and needs, explaining everything extremely clearly. It was really useful to have her check how we’d sorted out our home for the baby and as a mother and midwife she was able to give lots of practical advice.

T. Franklin

Excellent informative course! Bridie is clear and to the point in her teaching. Well worth the private lesson.

R. Yared

Bridie was very calm, professional and immediately put us at ease. We both felt very reassured, well prepared and excited for the arrival of our baby after our session with Bridie, I would fully recommend her services.

R.Henry

Bridie was extremely helpful, professional and really catered to our needs. We feel confident and reassured for the birth of our baby. We would highly recommend her.

M. Helmer

The antenatal classes were very well organised, with clear structure and detailed information. It was not easy to give one to one classes during the pandemic but we did enjoy the virtual classes with Bridie. We had very good overall experience with the antenatal classes, will definitely recommend to any new parents!
