Embrace Parenthood, Peterborough

14/11/2025

Parenting can sometimes feel isolating, which is why baby groups and toddler activities are so valuable. They give you a chance to meet other local parents, build your village, and share tips while your little ones play and learn.

I’ve collected parent-recommended baby and toddler groups across Peterborough in this blog — from sensory music classes to outdoor forest school fun.

If your favourite group isn’t listed or you spot a mistake, comment below and I’ll update the blog. Plus, it’s a great way to show your favourite group some love!

If you’re expecting, my full antenatal course covers everything from birth preparation to infant feeding, and offers support for up to three months postpartum — you can find out more and book your place on my website.

Struggling to sleep while pregnant?

You’re not alone — between baby kicks, a racing mind, and constant trips to the loo, sleep can feel like a distant memory.

Here are a few gentle tips to help:
😴Try side-lying with a pillow between your knees
🌙Keep your room cool and dark
📺Limit screens for 30 mins before bed
🛁Gentle stretches or a warm bath can help your body unwind

Although pregnancy insomnia is common, if you’re ever worried, have a chat with your midwife or GP.

Doing an antenatal or hypnobirthing course with me can give you tools to relax and rest more easily — it’s all about helping your body and mind work together.

Winter in the UK can be magical — but pregnancy adds extra challenges.

✨ Prevent slips & falls with supportive footwear
✨ Layer clothing & wash hands to avoid colds
✨ Keep hydrated — even in winter
✨ Check vitamin D guidance with your midwife

Rest isn’t a luxury — it’s essential. My antenatal classes cover safe pregnancy practices, labour preparation, and newborn care so you can feel confident and calm through winter and beyond.

Feeling utterly exhausted while pregnant? You’re not imagining it — fatigue is so common, and it’s part of your body’s amazing work.

✨ Your body is working overtime to grow your baby
✨ Short naps & early bedtimes can make a difference
✨ Balanced snacks, hydration, and fresh air all help
✨ Gentle movement supports circulation & mood

Although tiredness is normal in pregnancy, if you’re ever concerned about how you’re feeling, do speak to your midwife or GP — they’ll want to rule out anything like anaemia or low blood pressure.

You’re doing an incredible job, even on the days when all you can manage is resting. 💛
