Labour Workshop

Midwife‑Led Birth Preparation
Feel more confident and comfortable before birth.

ANTENATAL EDUCATION IN COLCHESTER

Price: £99

One Day. Real Tools. Confident Birth.

Our midwife-led Labour Workshop is a focused, practical one-day birth preparation course designed to help you feel ready for labour, whatever kind of birth you’re planning.

Choices around birth can feel overwhelming. This workshop strips everything back to what actually matters:

  • how labour really works
  • what helps birth progress
  • how to stay comfortable
  • how to make confident decisions if things change.

You’ll leave with clear tools, not just information — so you and your birth partner feel capable, connected and prepared rather than anxious.

Enjoy a calm, welcoming clinic environment and a small group dynamic where you can ask real questions, talk through worries, and practise techniques that genuinely help in labour.

Who It’s For

This Labour Workshop is designed for expectant parents at any stage of pregnancy.

Perfect for:
• First-time parents
• Parents who’ve given birth before
• Hospital, birth centre or home birth plans
• Birth partners who want to feel useful and confident

Why We’re Different

You’ll only ever be in a group of 3 other couples.

We deliberately keep our workshops small so you can:
• Ask personal questions
• Practise techniques properly
• Go at your own pace
• Feel relaxed, not like you’re in a lecture hall

Why We’re the Experts

Your workshop is led by a midwife, midwife lecturer, author and award-winning birth educator with over 20 years’ experience.

She knows what real birth looks like, not Instagram birth, not hospital drama, and will help you make sense of it in a grounded, honest way.

She will help you:
✓ Recognise when labour starts
✓ Understand what your body is doing
✓ Support birth progress naturally
✓ Skill up birth partners
✓ Navigate decisions with confidence

Emma and her team are so incredibly warm and knowledgeable, making the whole experience so enjoyable and personalised. I wouldn’t recommend anywhere else to go for your private scans, thank you for making ours so special 💘

Our first time visiting Little Peek, and we will definitely be returning for another reassurance scan later on! Such a lovely, calm atmosphere, staff lovely and friendly. Felt very welcomed. Emma was honestly so lovely and amazing, so reassuring during this scan at our 19 weeks of pregnancy, after a few concerns over the weekend that were clarified medically in other ways, but not visually. It was wonderful to see our baby girl again, happy & healthy, full of beans! Thank you so much for explaining everything to us in great detail, we honestly left feeling so happy & relaxed!

The little peek baby ultrasound team were amazing from the warm and friendly receptionist to our wonderful sonographer Emma. Emma was so friendly, reassuring and thorough. She provided me with information I didn’t know prior to the scan and gave me peace of mind. I absolutely could not recommend them more, wonderful experience.

Me and my partner are over the moon that we chose Little Peek for our baby scans. The service right from the front desk set a lovely, welcoming and calm environment which continued in the scan room. Emma was extremely patient and listened to every single worry I had about this pregnancy due to past experiences. I was reassured lots and Emma made sure she communicated through every step she was doing. Our appointments never felt rushed and to have someone so professional yet so connected to her clients needs and worries is an experience I never thought I’d be able to get. I cannot recommend Little Peek enough, especially Emma, as she made both scans feel very special❤️

This is my second visit to Little Peek Baby Ultrasound and again I am beyond happy with the service provided. Everything was explained thoroughly in detail before the scan took place. The lady that greeted us at reception was really kind and welcoming. Emma who performed the scan never disappoints. She makes the scan feel super special just now it should, and explains everything that is going on. I would recommend Little Peek to anyone who is looking for early reassurance scans, gender scans, or simply just to see their baby more often than the 2 scans offered by the NHS. Extremely reasonable prices with a very calm, warm, welcoming atmosphere. Thank you so much Emma and team, you're all wonderful!
