Birth preparation, reimagined.

Play fun games in a relaxed environment with a midwife and counsellor in the room, so you leave feeling informed, confident and ready for birth.

Free to attend, with food, a crèche and a voucher included. All are welcome.

Birth Loop brings families together around a bespoke board game and companion app. Each card is a decision, a question or a scenario you might meet in pregnancy, labour or the first days at home, so you can talk it through, make choices and hear other people's, in a room that feels more like a gathering than a class.

A registered midwife and a BACP-accredited counsellor are in the room throughout, so clinical questions get answered and feelings get room.

Three things in every session

A game that gets people talking

Scenario cards, choices and conversation make hard topics easier to start, from pain relief and induction to C-sections and feeding.

Birth can stir up a lot. Support for how you feel, alongside what you need to know.

Beyond the session

Support that does not stop at the door


Peer support after birth

Once your baby has arrived, peer support is there for you: other parents who understand, offering a listening ear when the first weeks feel like a lot.

Linked with your local MNVP

Birth Loop works with Maternity and Neonatal Voices Partnerships, so what families tell us about their care is shared as feedback to help shape better maternity services.

See it in action

Real conversations, around a real table.


This is what a session feels like: a room full of people playing, laughing and talking about the things birth preparation usually skips.

Then comes the escape room. In The Appointment, teams crack ciphers, unlock padlocks and solve puzzles together while following one woman's journey through pregnancy, birth and life with a newborn.
