    As a FTM, My little Kiwi has been invaluable to my husband and I on our journey. We came into this class knowing absolutely nothing and hoping to at least learn the basics, we came out confident and so ready to be parents. Becca created a really cool, safe environment for learning and creating relationships with other new parents. Having had some complications in our last trimester we’ve already been able to put some of Becca’s teachings to use to help us make informed choices and it has made a massive difference to how our journey has gone so far. I would absolutely encourage any new parents to sign up for My Little Kiwi, you won’t regret it!

    Highly recommend MLK antenatal in person classes! Becca is the nicest and sweetest teacher with loads of great knowledge and tips based on her own experience and what she has seen and experienced in her own years of being a LMC. After every class me and my husband would talk and discuss what we have learned and how we would like to apply that knowledge later on. The goodie bags were amazing and with such helpful items. Especially loved watching the dads compete in the diaper changing and swaddling challenge 🥰 We feel prepared and confident to bring our baby into this world.

    Becca, I just need to say you are incredible. At 44, with a long-awaited bub from frozen eggs, I started this journey gripped by fear, led down the medical path, convinced by an expensive OB of everything that could go wrong. I wish I had trusted my gut sooner but then you came into my world. Your wisdom, your calm, your belief in women have completely transformed my mindset. I CAN do this. Maybe I will need medical help and that is fine, but thanks to you I am not just prepared, I am excited. Your classes have me crying with joy, feeling strong, and ready to meet my baby in nine weeks. From a male OB’s fear to your feminine power, you have changed everything. I just wish you could be in the room with me!

    Absolutely amazing course! Becca is incredibly knowledgeable and prepared us perfectly for the remainder of our pregnancy, birth and the first weeks of bubs earthside. The content was easily digestible with great resources, guest speakers and demonstrations to help us understand and empower us for the journey ahead. Highly recommend x

    Becca introduced me to natural birth but also medical interventions that were completely new to me. This helped me understand the importance of using my voice during birth, no matter what my journey is. As a first-time mum, I feel incredibly supported, informed, and now empowered to welcome my baby, all thanks to Becca's guidance and invaluable information from these classes. Highly recommend for anyone on their birth journey!

    We thought this course would cover the basics but we were extremely wrong. Becca’s course taught us so much more! There is so much to learn and no one individual experience is ever the same - the best part was that Becca covered all scenarios. Not only did she inform us of how labour worked but also educated us on aspects of the 4th trimester. The guest speakers meant we got a variety of information that was also very helpful. We both learnt a lot which was important to us so we both got to be involved with the birth of our daughter. We can’t thank Becca enough!

    My partner and I both really loved these classes! Becca’s teaching was really fun and interactive, the classes seemed to fly by and definitely didn’t feel like two hours. We both learnt so much and feel a lot more confident going into labour and postpartum. Definitely recommend!

    We recently attended Becca’s in person antenatal course, and highly recommend for any new parents / second time parents wanting a refresh. Her classes were well structured, with a wealth of information to help prepare you for welcoming a baby. Becca is incredibly knowledgeable, and has a kind and caring presence. She provides info from all viewpoints ensuring that no matter what your preferences may be - she will cover it all.

    My partner and I throughly enjoyed the in-person My Little Kiwi Antenatal classes. Becca is a great teacher and makes everything so easy to understand. Beccas way of teaching, the take home work book and the in class activities has brought my partner and me into better alignment about how we want to approach labour and the postpartum period. We highly recommend My Little Kiwi Antenatal to any expecting parents.

Therefore, you can trust that the information is unbiased, up-to-date, evidence based, and from a reputable source! Becca has a 4 year Bachelor of Midwifery, and hands on experience through years of supporting hundreds of people through all different kinds of births.

    • Our online classes allow you to learn at your own pace from the privacy and comfort of your own home. Choose from our full antenatal course or any one of our shorter courses that best suit your needs.

  • Any soon-to-be parent or birth partner who prefers the flexibility of our pre-recorded and self-paced content you can access at any time. Our courses are perfect for if:

    • You lead busy lives, have work commitments or an irregular schedule

    • Location is an issue or you live rurally

    • You have missed out on booking in-person classes

    • You would like to do this alongside a course you’re already taking

    • You prefer not to do a group class

    • You would like a refresher since having your last baby

    • Labour and birth is a transformative experience and one of the most important days of your life! We should prepare for it just as we would any other significant day. Research suggests that those who take antenatal courses tend to have a more positive birth experience than those who don’t. While attending an antenatal education course doesn't guarantee a smooth or "perfect" birth, parents who attend antenatal classes are often better prepared to manage pain, understand their birth choices, communicate with healthcare providers, and adapt to unexpected situations, all of which contribute to a more positive experience.

    • Knowledge is power and there is only so much information your Lead Maternity Carer has time to share with you during your antenatal appointments. Our comprehensive course gives you the tools to supplement their advice and help you make the best decisions for your pregnancy, birthing and postpartum journey.

    • Antenatal classes also cover postpartum care, breastfeeding, and baby care basics. This prepares parents not just for birth, but for the early days of parenting. Feeling confident in your ability to care for your newborn can reduce postpartum anxiety and improve overall well-being during the transition to parenthood.
