A great space for dad to be’s to get together, chat about the dad’s perspective and really focus in on the impending fatherhood in a supportive space.
Especially in a world where from the sonography visits to the pram shops, the dad is almost always invisible.

MANtenatal is an absolute MUST! An expertly designed and delivered 2-part course that covers EVERYTHING you might want to know as a Dad-To-Be. Geared towards helping men be the #BestDadYouCanBe. Antenatal courses are great for learning about Mum & Baby, but I was always left feeling unsure of my role as Dad. This is where MANtenatal comes in! I feel so much more prepared now for the arrival of little one. Thank you Gordon - you've created something special here!

If you want to be the best dad, this is step one.
MANtenatal covers all of the ‘dad-gaps’ that standard antenatal classes like NCT misses out. It also covers things like mental health for dads and what to expect in moments that you may not have thought about - it’s all about physical and mental preparation and MANtenatal has you covered.
Gordon is brilliant, great speaker and of course very knowledgeable. I hope the NHS picks this up and starts pushing it as much as they currently push ‘mums antenatal’ classes.

My wife and I have done a bunch of courses ranging from the official NHS ones to custom Hypnobirthing ones. While most of them have been useful in some way or another, none have been so direct, so practical, or so directly applicable to me.
The second day (post birth part) was especially useful to me and already led to some interesting discussions and new decisions made. Thank you, and keep doing good work! Would definitely recommend it to every new dad 🙂

Gordon is full of knowledge and tells it like it is. He has boosted my confidence, helped both me and my wife and made the up coming birth a thought of excitement rather than dread.
The course is packed with the information dads need but aren't told when they go to antenatal classes with their partners and more. He points out moments that will make things special to both dads and mums.
He's open, honest and happy to answer questions to help other dads.
10/10 5* would definitely recommend MANtenatal.

Superb! Expecting our first baby in a few weeks, we've done a hypnobirthing course, and a zoom antenatal course, all of which were good but had no practical help or advice for dad's. I felt hugely unprepared for the challenge ahead, that's when I found Mantenatal, just finished the course and I feel so ready for what's coming, well maybe not ready, but certainly prepared mentally to deal with whatever challenges come my way.
Highly recommended to anyone.

Gordon is a great host of the course. Really informative, teaches a lot of great tips but in a simple way. I took the online group course, which has the added benefit of being in a community of dads in the same boat.
Definitely feel prepared as I can be for the first stages of fatherhood
Thank you

My partner and I met Gordon at a baby and toddler event in Surrey. I am a first time father and no clue at all what I was doing. I signed up for the dad live course (which is discounted at events to buy) and did to two 2hr sessions over zoom. I have gone from having no clue to now being confident in what I need to do to be “the best dad that I can be�. It is 100% worth the money and the WhatsApp “squad� of other people from our squad is a great tool for support as everyone is from different backgrounds and lifestyles.

I was a little apprehensive about becoming a Dad for the first time. But after meeting Gordon at a baby and toddler show and doing the 4 hour course I now feel ready and truly excited about the imminent arrival of our first child. A brilliant course couldn’t reccomend it highly enough for new Dads. Learnt some invaluable things. Thankyou a Gordon and Mantenatal

Gordon has a wonderful way of explaining things in the most unpatronising way. He creates a space in which you feel you can ask any question and have it answered professionally but also personally, and not like it's scripted. Lots of insightful tips to make the whole process of becoming a new Dad alot less daunting. Would recommend to everyone that wants to be a more supportive and conscientious Dad.

Amazing Experience.
Highly highly recommend, Gordon was excellent, combining the important information whilst making everyone feel at ease. This is the only course you need. 4 hours of your time to become the best dad you can be.

Despite doing NCT classes, MANtenatal gave me everything I needed and more to feel prepared as a new Dad.
From helping me figure out ways that me and my partner can work together as a team, to what I should pack in Mum and babies bags, Gordon has helped me in ways I couldn’t have imagined (he even mentioned some cool Dad bags that I can buy).
I’d recommend this to anyone that’s becoming a new Dad, or even those who although it may not be their first rodeo, want to freshen up their Dad skills for their newborn.

I booked a session after meeting Gordon at the baby show in Kensington Olympia. I attended session 2 which went through what to expect as a new father post pregnancy. The session was really engaging and interactive where Gordon talked through a number of topics and was able to provide insight based off his own parenting experiences. I found the workshop very useful and have taken a lot from just a 2 hours session. There's also community groups and an app where you can access useful app and situational advice. I would highly recommend Gordon and MAntenatal to any soon-to-be father's. Thanks Gordon!

Great antenatal class for dads!
Gordon has put together a great prep course for dads to be, and community that he creates around it is also very helpful - something that is clearly underrepresented on antenatal classes market focused on mums. Thanks a lot again! Would highly recommend.

I met Gordon at the Baby Show in London and it didn’t much to convince me to sign up for MANtenatal.
Gordon has created a comprehensive course to prepare the future dads on the challenges/reality of childbirth. Along the way he provided valuable advices that will be useful way beyond birth. The course is well structured and is value for money. Overall I felt confident and well prepared at every stage of the birth of my child.
Gordon has created many channels where you can keep in touch and contribute to the community.
Keep doing what you’re doing.

Such a key gap in the market picked up on by Gordon for dads and birth partners to be. Such useful and well delivered information, leading to a group of people in the same situation in a WhatsApp group supporting and helping one another. This course allowed me to advocate confidently and remain composed amongst the carnage that can be childbirth! Can’t thank Gordon or the fellas in our group enough. Get planning, get prepared and be the best dad you can be!

A brilliant course for the first time dad! Covered everything from what to expect before baby arrives and how to prepare as best you can, right through to how to care for baby and mum after birth. Great tips and tricks on navigating the world of parenting. As an expectant dad I’ve felt a lot of new emotions, a good mix of excitement and nerves mostly. The unknown can be daunting. Since attending the mantenatal course i definitely feel I have a better understanding of the whole process and what to expect. The no BS approach and honest opinion from Gordon is just what’s needed. A great reality check with humility and support! Highly recommend to all!

Really informative sessions where you’re made to feel at ease from the outset. Gordon did a great job of answering questions and explaining some complicated topics in plain English!
Thank you, would definitely recommend!

I am really glad I bumped into MANtenatal at a baby show, really good to have something like this to help dads to prepare for dadhood!
After chatting with them for 5 minutes I knew I was going to do the course.
The course was delivered by Gordon, great personality and what a treasure trove of experience and knowledge that guy has! Excellent advice and course, perfect length and tonnes covered!
Mum to be is reassured too that I am better prepared which is brilliant.
Thank you Gordon

Gordon’s MANtenatal course is a fantastic resource for dads to-be - loads of great info to prepare you, and the group courses are great as you get to share your experiences with other expectant dads. Even if you think you’re prepared, there’s bound to be a few new thoughts and questions raised by this course for you and probably your partner too. Can’t recommend it highly enough.
