Free Postpartum Partners Taster Evening

An antenatal programme for the one supporting you

When a partner understands how to support life after birth, everyone benefits.

Postpartum Partners is a seven-week programme designed to prepare partners and support people for the realities of the postpartum period, so the pregnant person feels seen, supported, and truly cared for in those early weeks and beyond at home.

When your partner joins Postpartum Partners, they’ll gain practical skills, emotional awareness, and confidence in providing meaningful support, from understanding postnatal recovery and feeding, to helping manage rest, routines, and emotional wellbeing. It’s about building strong, responsive foundations for the whole family.

We know that birth and the weeks that follow can be transformative and sometimes challenging. Our sessions create space for honest conversation, reflection, and shared learning, helping partners to feel capable and calm, and the birthing person to feel held and understood.

Each week covers a different theme, including postnatal recovery and physical healing, supporting feeding and bonding, mental health and emotional awareness, navigating sleep and household changes, building communication and connection, practical home help and creating calm, and adapting together as your family grows.

All sessions are evidence-based, trauma-informed, and inclusive of all family structures and gender identities. Our approach is grounded in compassion, care, and real-life experience, not perfection.

Next seven-week block begins January 2026.

Sessions are held in a relaxed, welcoming space at Swarthmoor Hall

Empower your partner to step into postpartum life with confidence, so you both begin this new chapter already growing together.

There will be mulled wine (alcohol free too, of course!) and snacks.

Please come along to get a feel of what your partner will learn at our classes at this free, warm, cosy antenatal taster evening. 🎃🍷🥟
