At Nurture Births Claire Jones offers something different to traditional antenatal classes.
Expert-led sessions designed for modern parents.
Based just outside Belfast in Bangor, Claire supports families across Belfast and surrounding areas with small group classes and personalised Birth Preparation.
I’m Claire Jones, a former Midwife with over 20 years of experience supporting women through pregnancy, labour, and the early days of newborn life.

With me, you’ll have:
A trusted expert in your corner
• Space to ask anything without judgement
• Personalised support tailored to you
• Evidence-based education
Courses are intentionally kept small (maximum 6 couples) to ensure personal attention.
I created Nurture Births after seeing too many parents enter birth feeling fearful, rushed, or unsure of their options. I wanted to offer something different
Support that isn’t constrained by time limits or Maternity System pressures in Northern Ireland.
WHAT MAKES MY APPROACH DIFFERENT

I combine:
Ergonomics (how your body moves and works in labour)
Breathing and relaxation techniques
Evidence-based midwifery knowledge

Baby Safety
Baby Safety involves taking precautions to protect newborns from potential hazards and ensure their well-being. Key aspects include:
- Safe sleep: Expert advice for safer sleep for babies
- Travelling safety: Using a properly installed, rear-facing car seat for all travel.
- Bathing safety: Expert advice on how to bath baby safely.
- Handling safety: Always supporting the baby’s head and neck, and ensuring they are never left unattended on high surfaces.
These steps help create a safe environment for your baby’s growth and development.
Mother Self-Care After Birth is essential for physical recovery and emotional well-being. It involves:
- Physical recovery: Resting, staying hydrated, eating nutritious meals, and managing postpartum pain through proper wound care and gentle exercise as recommended.
- Mental and emotional health: Seeking support from family, friends, or professionals to manage stress, anxiety, or postnatal depression.
- Breast care: If responsive feeding, maintaining good nipple hygiene and addressing issues like engorgement or soreness.
- Rest and sleep: Prioritising rest whenever possible, as sleep can be disrupted with a newborn.
Self-care helps mothers regain strength, adjust to the demands of motherhood, and promotes long-term well-being.
