My husband and I was skeptical at first on doing the class online, however we were pleasantly surprised that the program was not only informative, but also quite engaging. The content is also very well curated and structured, concise and we can watch it over again if we needed to refresh our memories. I also loved the Zoom session we did with other parents attending St George hospital as it really helped us to also understand the concerns other people had that could be relevant to us. The head midwife also addressed many useful questions which really helped put us at ease. I really enjoyed the program and would recommend to friends and family.

We can confidently say we had a very positive birth experience due to your excellent, down to earth course that took away much of the fear and apprehension. Bub arrived kicking and screaming and hasn’t looked back since.

A huge thank you to Birth Beat! After watching all of the videos and discussing my medical history with my obstetrician, I decided to have an elective C-Section. I felt so informed and secure in my decision, knowing exactly what would happen on the day and how to enjoy every minute of it.

The program kept me cool, calm and collected. I kept thinking throughout the whole process ‘I am in control’. Your settling technique and bath time video has also worked wonders and really helped us to confidently put her to bed.”
