Why an online pregnancy course?
Traditional childbirth classes are usually in-person and often group-based. While some still prefer this, the times are changing. Online childbirth courses provide the flexibility and convenience you need. You can get answers to all your questions privately and confidently at your own pace, and you'll know exactly what questions to ask your midwife.

About Future Mom Academy
Future Mom Academy was born out of the dream to make all knowledge around pregnancy accessible. We've combined practical insights from midwives and real experiences from mothers-to-be, building a complete, reassuring childbirth preparation course.
Every pregnancy is unique, and not everyone has the time or opportunity to attend a physical course. That's why we founded Future Mom Academy: a place where you can learn at your own pace, whenever it suits you. No sweaty gym or fixed lesson times, but a course you can follow in the comfort of your own home. What makes this course so special is that we work with both pregnant women and midwives on a daily basis. We understand the questions, doubts and sometimes fears that you may have as an expectant parent.
By combining all these experiences and knowledge, we have developed a course that not only gives you practical information, but also prepares you mentally for this special period in your life.
At Future Mom Academy, we stand by you. We will take you through the course step by step and ensure that you approach the birth confidently and well-informed. You are not alone—we are here to support you with knowledge, love and a touch of humour.
Together, we will ensure that you can confidently say: ' I'm ready '.
