ABOUT
Cat Maslaveckas
​
Midwifery BSc (Hons)
Third Trimester Sonography (MSc)
Postgraduate Cert. in Science Education
Meet Cat, our seasoned midwife with over a decade of experience and busy mum of two, currently caring for families on the hospital delivery suite and doubling as a Specialist Midwife Sonographer for those important third trimester growth scans. Her commitment to providing comprehensive care is evident. Cat’s unique journey also includes a stint as a Secondary School Science teacher, showcasing a diverse skill set that she now applies to her passion for antenatal education.
​
The driving force behind Cat's decision to initiate evidence-based antenatal classes stems from a profound understanding of new parents' experiences. She's been hearing the raw, unfiltered stories from new parents who feel like they've been handed a Rubik's Cube without the instruction manual. Many parents feel unprepared for the challenges of labour, birth, and the subsequent newborn period, even after those traditional antenatal classes.
How do my antenatal classes differ to NCT classes?
NCT became popular back in the 1950s, largely because it was among the only option available for antenatal education at the time. Operating as a charity, NCT instructors are University trained course facilitators.
Now, unlike NCT, I come to the table with a wealth of experience as a seasoned midwife. With years of hands-on practice helping countless parents through childbirth and beyond, I offer a warm, unbiased, and evidence-based approach to teaching, coupled with loads of practical advice. In my classes, I put a special focus on diving into life with your newborn, an aspect often missed in traditional antenatal courses. I understand the struggles parents face, especially when it comes to navigating newborn sleep! I want to provide you with all the tools, so you can parent confidently in those first months with your baby.
When you sign up, you'll enjoy five months of personalised online support directly from me. And that's not all – I provide a treasure trove of resources including a Pain-Management Guide and Newborn Care Booklet, among other helpful goodies. At this time NCT classes are £269 and my Informed Birth classes are £230.
