Ahead of the Bump - A 5-Day Transformation
Go from dreading birth to believing in yourself and your body more than you ever knew possible.
5 days. One audio a day. A completely different woman walking into that birth room — and you’ve still got the whole of pregnancy ahead of you.
Picture yourself at 38 weeks
You’re not dreading your birth, you’re actually kinda curious and a little bit excited!
When someone launches into their horror story it simply bounces off you.
Because you understand what your body is going to do, and why, so completely that it’s stopped being frightening and started being kind of extraordinary.
On the day you actually give birth, you walk in as the woman in charge. Because you are.
That woman isn’t lucky. She isn’t built differently to you. She just decided not to leave the biggest day of her life to chance — and she started preparing while she still had the energy and the runway.
Here’s the version of birth most mums get instead
You've had your scan. You've started letting people in on it.
But the moment you do, you get the look... and out comes their birth horror story. Uninvited. In full graphic detail.
"Ohhh, just you wait."
You smile, you nod and you quietly add it to the growing pile of evidence in your head that this is going to be horrendous.
As a highly sought after doula and birth educator, I’ve seen this play out more times than I can count.
You decide — without really deciding — that you'll "deal with the birth bit later."
You'll do a course at 34 weeks. You'll read the book at some point. You'll think about it when you have to.
So for now, you just don't think about it.
Except it doesn’t actually go away, does it? It sits there, festering:
“What if my body just isn’t built for this.”
“What if I panic and lose it and it all goes wrong.”
“Everyone says it’s the worst pain imaginable, so I’m just bracing for the worst.”
And the 11pm “I’ll just read one birth story” turns into an hour long spiral through other women’s trauma while your partner snores next to you.
The whole time, a clock is ticking. Because "later" always arrives knackered, enormous, and panicking — cramming for the biggest day of your life the week before it happens.
You can prepare now, or cram at 38 weeks. It's happening either way.
People will tell you birth is just something that happens to you. That it comes down to luck, your body, and whatever the hospital decides on the day. That all you can do is cross your fingers and hope for a good one.
I am so over this narrative and in 5 days time you will be too.
Because it’s not luck. It’s about a woman believing in herself so deeply that her birth gets to be completely transformational. That’s the foundation for how your birth unfolds — and it’s exactly what Ahead of the Bump is all about.
Ahead of the Bump is a 5-day audio series with a leading birth educator and certified doula
Listen while you’re getting ready for bed, on you’re driving to work or when you’re enjoying a beautifully beige snack (IYKYK).
One short audio drop a day. One genuine shift a day. A completely different perspective just 5 days later.
A private community of mums doing this right alongside you.
A Q&A to bring every worry to.
A closing live to pull it all together, with the rest of your pregnancy ahead of you.
Oh hi by the way, I'm Eleanor.
I'm not your average birth educator.
I'm a certified doula, a multi-award winning birth educator and a birth trauma practitioner — and the way I prepare women for birth is worlds apart from an NCT class or a £15 e-book.
I've supported over 100 births and pregnancies — in the room when everything goes to plan, and in the room when it absolutely doesn't. That's where I learned what actually changes how a mother feels afterwards: not luck, but having prepared so deeply that she walks in ready to embrace the experience, however it unfolds.
Ahead of the Bump is £25.
You're getting the same brain, same approach and same standard I give every woman in every one of my spaces. It's simply the most accessible way there's ever been to get inside how I teach — without being a watered-down version of it.
Think of it as the front door to my world.
Ahead of the Bump is for you if…
You’re between 12 and 15 weeks pregnant and you’ve already decided you want a birth that looks nothing like the stories you’ve heard your whole life.
Social media, the news and your friends are making you question whether you’re naive for even thinking there’s another way to give birth — and something in you refuses to believe there isn’t.
You’re not the type to sit around until 34 weeks to get your sh*t together. You’d rather start now, while you’ve got the energy and the runway.
You want to feel that first contraction and think “ahhh, this is it” — not “oh shit.”
I’ve supported hundreds of families to have positive birth experiences and my unique approach to birth preparation is recommended by leading midwives across the UK
We kick off the week of 27th July 2026. At £25, this is the easiest yes you’ll make all pregnancy.
