Bump Club
The pregnancy coffee date that helps Cornwall’s mums-to-be to find each other.
Grab a coffee, pull up a chair and have a chat about all things pregnancy, birth & baby with the people who get it and you.
FREE
1ST SAT OF THE MONTH
BUTTERMARKET (REDRUTH)
From the two blue lines to well-over due, we’d love to meet you.
FYI: making mum-mates shouldn’t cost the earth…
So many people tell me they paid hundreds for a group antenatal course to make some friends.
Only to have sat through hours of disappointingly generic birth preparation.
In a cold & unwelcoming space.
Having made zero friends.
You are growing life. You deserve so much more than that..
And so Bump Club was born.
“Definitely go! I’ve made some great connections and it’ll help build confidence around your pregnancy!”
Bump Club is the pregnancy event that every Cornwall mum-to-be deserves: a fantastic (and delicious) social setting, with the chance to really talk and get to know people who fully get what you’re going through.
All for free*.
*you do need to pay for your own coffee and cake though!
Bump Club isn’t any old pregnancy group.
It’s a community that starts with a coffee and a chat.
Bump Club isn’t the kind of pregnancy event where you do stuff and leave, like a yoga class with a quick chat at the end.
This is a proper social space.
Everyone who comes to Bump Club does so to talk and make friends & this is how it happens:
The day before:
You’ll get a welcome text with all the details you need to make finding us stress-free.
On the day:
We meet at our table in The Buttermarket; you grab whatever coffees & cakes you fancy (heads up, the carrot cake is insane!).
We chat.
Loads. Sometimes I’ll guide it, but usually your own shared experiences and ‘me too!’ moments take over.
I move around.
I speak to everyone at the table so you can pick my doula brain on any birth and baby questions you might have.
I leave you to it.
At the right moment, I’ll take my bow and depart, leaving you to to swap numbers & grab a bit of lunch if you have time.
“Everyone was so friendly and chatty; even though I was nervous, it was great to chat to people going through the same thing as me right now. ”
“I loved how you didn’t feel pushed to talk, but how everyone was included. Definitely go and experience it - it’s really positive”
And if you like the vibes & the people, the community vibes don’t stop there:
Some become a familiar face at other Bump Clubs.
Some join our exclusive Telegram group.
Some explore antenatal classes & doula support.
Some return to us at ‘The Nest’ when their baby is born.
Some, do it all!
But there’s zero-pressure. Honestly, this can just be a single coffee date if you want.
Is Bump Club the pregnancy group for you?
Here’s what people often ask me about Bump Club.
-
Whenever you are ready!
People come to Bump Club in their first, second and third trimesters, and will often book to come past their due dates (because nothing starts labour better than making social plans you want to keep!)
-
Not at all! We have had first, second, third and even fifth time mums-to-be come to & enjoy Bump Club.
-
We have mums-to-be from all ages and walks of life join us at Bump Club.
I don’t ask anyone to divulge their age (as it’s not relevant to me!) but I’d guess that we’ve had pregnant mums in their very early twenties right up to their mid-forties join us at Bump Club and there have never been any issues or blips.
You’re here to meet other pregnant people; age doesn’t ever seem to factor into it!
-
Yes, absolutely!
This is a social space, not a birth prep class or a homebirth group. This is a zero-judgement social space for pregnant people to share their experiences and connect with others.
All pregnancies and all birth plans are welcome!
-
Yes! There is a very reasonably priced pay & display car park right next to the Buttermarket. There are also other car parks around Redruth and on street parking on nearby residential streets.
-
So many people message me before to say that they’re nervous. And I totally get it - meeting strangers is a scary thing!
But here’s what I tell people.
Everyone here is in the same boat; we’re here to meet one another, to have a chat and be nice. No cliques allowed.
If you find approaching big groups scary, come slightly early. I always aim to be there 15 mins before hand so you can ease yourself in.
-
Yes of course! If you are in labour and need to cancel, that’s no problem at all. But if you’re not, you don’t want to miss out on coffee, cake and baby chat do you?
-
So this one is a no, and the reason is simple: experience (and feedback) has taught me that it works better when its just the mums.
You feel more able to talk honestly about body parts and birth fears, relationships and big questions.
And that’s where the magic of this pregnancy event lies.
Which is why I say get your partner to drop you off, or leave them at home. You can fill them in later on!
Join us at The Bump Club…
Whether you’re 2 weeks or 42 weeks into your pregnancy, we’d love to meet you.
To keep the warm and welcoming vibes going, spaces are limited so booking is essential. Grab your seat at the table using the booking links below!
Have you thought booked your antenatal classes yet?
My personalised 1:1 antenatal classes & birth preparation are all based in the lived experience of birth doula life, and are designed to give you what you need to be really ready.
“This course has given us more resources & knowledge that we ever thought possible. ”
