Testimonials

“I would definitely recommend Maldod to future expectant parents, especially to those new parents and those who have had little experience with babies before.

Eleri’s fun and joyous personality made the session enjoyable as well as informative.”

— Nia, new mother

“As you find out – labour can be very overwhelming and knowing the stages and terminology really helped me personally prepare for the big day. 

I found knowing more about the options we had such as the medication provided and delivery methods really helped to provide an insight to the day. 

Another aspect that I personally found helpful was the practical side. Maldod went through how to change a nappy and bath your baby correctly. I had never held a baby before, let alone changed one – so this was very helpful!”

— Josh, new father

“Maldod was great in explaining all of my options ready for labour, birthing and the early days at home with a newborn.

Maldod also encouraged me and gave me confidence in becoming a new mummy who wanted to breastfeed. Having the information and insight Maldod provided me with was priceless and so empowering.”

“As a father / birth partner, you can sometimes feel forgotten about in these types of classes, but this was not the case in the slightest with Maldod. 

The role of the birthing partner was discussed thoroughly from the out-set and this made me feel like a key part of the birthing team!

Eleri made sure to check-in with me throughout the session, asking for my input and opinions regularly and gave me the confidence to effectively support my wife from the minute labour started!”

“Maldod answered all of my questions and MORE! It was the best session I could have attended as an expectant mother.

The structure and layout of the session was concise and clear and Eleri made sure that I understood everything as we went along, and she was happy to answer any question along the way. This meant that I felt at ease about what was ahead, and not overwhelmed in the slightest, even though the information being shared underlined and highlighted realistic and possible scenarios that could happen during birth.

The Maldod experience left me as the Birth Mother feeling empowered and ready to face labour, birth and beyond, whatever was ahead of me.”
