You don’t need to do this alone and you don’t need to feel unsure every step of the way, either.

Birth With Choice antenatal courses on the Fylde Coast, are way more than just birth prep. You’ll find calm. Confidence. Clarity. And a warm, supportive group of expectant parents who just get what you’re navigating right now.

This is evidence-based education, taught with honesty, empathy, and zero judgment.

You’ll be held in a space where you can ask anything (yes, even that), build real connections, and walk away with practical tools that actually help when the big day comes.

Whether you're feeling unsure, overwhelmed, or just craving something that actually prepares you, you're in the right place.

Here’s what we’ll cover together:

Why fear matters and how to shift your thinking
Understand the impact fear can have on birth and discover practical tools to help you work with your body for a smoother and more comfortable birth.

A clear, honest picture of what labour actually looks like.
Get a clear picture of what to expect during labour, including the science behind birth, the different stages of labour, the role of birthing hormones, optimal birth positions and biomechanics for birth.

Many midwives are yet to be trained in biomechanics, yet this could be the difference between switching positions and an assisted delivery. This is knowledge you need and we’ve got you covered

Techniques to help you feel calm, even when things feel intense. Learn simple, effective ways to manage pain using techniques like massage, breathing techniques, and visualisation—all designed to help you stay calm and relaxed. You’ll explore how to adapt these tools for however your birth unfolds and gain a full understanding of your natural and pharmaceutical pain relief options.

How to navigate the maternity system with confidence.
Understand how to make the most of the maternity system, with the knowledge to navigate common medical interventions and feel confident in creating a positive experience, no matter how your birth unfolds.

Creating a birth plan that reflects your values and adapts with ease. Get expert advice on your birth options and how to make informed decisions, plus practical steps for writing a birth plan that effectively communicates your choices.

Practical prep for birth partners, too.
Equip your birth partner with practical, supportive tips to help them play an active and helpful role throughout your pregnancy and birth.

Getting ready for life after birth.
Feel mentally prepared for the fourth trimester by focusing on your emotional, physical, and mental wellbeing.

And the best part? You’re not doing it alone.
You’ll be learning alongside other local parents, creating a sense of shared experience and support as you prepare for birth, together.

Ryan’s Experience with Hypnobirthing as a second time Dad

Eleanor did a seamless job of condensing her vast array of knowledge, tips & insights into a one-day session in a lovely Lytham setting. She created a calm, open environment in which myself (and my wife) felt comfortable, supported and informed throughout.

The relaxed but thoroughly prepared set-up, with a range of activities as well as open discussion with other couples, was effective and we came away feeling much more confident about the impending birth of our second child. Eleanor also sent us away with many tools, resources, and practical ideas that we will continue to implement in the lead-up to the birth.

I couldn't recommend someone more attentive, knowledgeable and calming. You WILL feel better about your birth experience if you work with Eleanor at Birth With Choice!

What makes Hypnobirthing different to other antenatal classes?

Embarking on your birth journey can feel overwhelming, but I’m here to make it as simple as possible and a highlight of your pregnancy.

Before your in-person Hypnobirthing course in Lytham, you’ll gain instant access to the Birth With Choice Library. You’ll be able to start preparing for your birth straight away with a trusted library of resources, hypnobirthing audios and pre-recorded videos.

Two weeks after the course, you’ll also be invited to a live Zoom session with the group. This hour-long call will be held from 7:30-8:30 pm, so you’ve got time to get home and get settled.

We’ll cover Caesarean Birth and preparing for a healing fourth trimester as well as answering all of your questions. Feel free to join in with a cup of tea and biscuits from the comfort of your own home!

By the end of the course, you’ll have all the knowledge and tools to feel mentally, emotionally, and practically prepared for your birth. Not forgetting, I’ll be available to offer continued support via WhatsApp until your baby arrives. I’m here to cheer you on at every step!

Holly’s Experience with Hypnobirthing as a second time Mum

Supportive, informative, invaluable! We had such a wonderful experience on the full day course. Eleanor provided a calm, safe and relaxing space to explore our options, learn new skills and ask any questions we feel we weren't getting answers to in regular maternity or hospital appointments. She was knowledgeable, patient and understanding.

Both myself and my husband/birth partner came away feeling we now have the tools, information and confidence to have a positive birth experience for our second birth, following a somewhat traumatic birth experience first time round. We really enjoyed meeting all the other expectant parents too! We couldn't recommend Birth With Choice enough!

  • Hypnobirthing can significantly reduce the perception of pain and help you to manage it more effectively. Learning to relax deeply helps to break the fear-tension-pain cycle.

    I don’t avoid talking about pain, but I promise to teach you that it isn’t something to fear, alongside proven tools to make birth as comfortable as possible. There’s so much of birth to embrace, and I’m here to cheer you on at every step!

  • It's best to book your group Hypnobirthing course as early as possible, ideally anytime after your 12-week scan. Most parents attend between 20–34 weeks, giving you plenty of time to practise the techniques before your due date.

    My group Hypnobirthing classes in Lytham fill up quickly, so early booking ensures your place and gives you access to The Birth With Choice Library and my ongoing support.

    If you are over 34 weeks, I offer an Intense Hypnobirthing Course. Please contact me to find out how I can support you within this timeframe.

  • While it’s not essential, having your birth partner attend the Hypnobirthing group course with you is incredibly beneficial. They’ll learn how to support you, advocate for your choices, and stay calm and confident during labour. My group courses are designed to involve birth partners fully.

  • Not at all! Hypnobirthing is for every kind of birth - whether that’s a hospital birth, birth centre, homebirth, induction, or caesarean. In my group Hypnobirthing courses, you’ll learn tools to stay calm and in control, no matter how or where your baby is born.
