Why Did No One Tell Me This?

Preparing for the Emotional Side of Becoming a Parent

Online workshop series on the 12th, 19th, and 26th November. 


💭 Most antenatal classes prepare you for the baby.

But what about preparing you?

Becoming a parent is one of life’s biggest emotional transitions and while everyone talks about the practical side, few talk about the emotional one.

This warm and welcoming workshop series creates a safe, reflective space to explore how you’re really feeling, share experiences, and gain practical strategies for the emotional journey into parenthood.

You’ll leave feeling informed, grounded, and supported and ready to meet your baby with confidence and self-compassion.

  • What’s normal emotionally during pregnancy and the early days.

  • How to manage worries, guilt, and social pressures.

  • Ways to protect your boundaries and mental wellbeing.

  • How to nurture yourself while bonding with your baby.

  • Trusted sources of support and information for new parents.
