Antenatal Classes & Creative Socials
for second-time parents
Launching in Walthamstow
At Whirl & Wonder, we walk alongside you through the beautiful whirlwind of welcoming a second child. We know firsthand that parenting feels lighter when you're surrounded by others who understand your journey. That's why we've created modern Antenatal Classes and Creative Socials where you can come as you are, meet others, and prepare for life as a family of four.
What we offer
Antenatal Courses
Refresh what you already know while focusing on what's different the second time around – all while connecting you with other parents in E17 on the same path.
Creative Socials
Need a little break? We offer you a peaceful pause in the busyness of growing your family, where you can nurture your creative side while building friendships that will support you through the early days and months with two little ones.
Why Families Choose Us
We honour your experience.
You've done this before, so we won't waste your precious time covering what you already know. Instead, we focus on navigating the beautiful complexity of welcoming a second child.
We welcome every family story.
No judgement, no "right way", just genuine support for all families growing from three to four.
We create real connections.
Meet other local parents expecting their second, build lasting friendships, and watch your children grow up together.
We understand your juggle.
After the first combined online session, our antenatal courses cleverly alternate in-person sessions between birthing and non-birthing parents, so childcare is seamlessly covered by your partner.
Hi, I'm Yvonne, mum of two boys and founder of Whirl & Wonder.
When expecting my second child, I couldn't find antenatal classes tailored for second-time parents. I craved connection with other parents preparing for baby number two while juggling the beautiful chaos of life with a toddler.
The early months with two felt isolating - navigating nursery pickups with a baby on my hip, managing toddler meltdowns, somehow trying to make it all work. Everything shifted when I connected with other second-time parents. Motherhood suddenly felt lighter.
Whirl & Wonder now offers specialised classes for expecting second-time parents in East London, because no parent should have to navigate this journey alone.
