Birth & Baby Prep Course

​

Price per mum & birthing partner if choosing to have one. 

For babies due October, November and December.

​

I am so proud of my birth and baby prep course- relaxed but informative, calming but real discussions.

I am an advocate for parents and so passionate that knowledge is power.

​

During this course we will delve into all aspects of birth but also looking to the post partum- understanding, anticipating and preparing.

​

I have created each session to be relaxed but allow you to feel informed as you choose what feels right for you. 

​

My labour & birth preparation discusses the biology of labour, why and how our bodies do what they do. It's all very clever! 

​

Discussing each stage of labour in detail so you know what could happen and all your choices available.

​

Being mentally prepared for the variety of routes your labour journey could go down helps manage expectations, enabling you to make empowered, informed decisions.

​

During the session we will discuss everything openly regarding:

​

• How labour begins & tips for the early stages.

• Biology of labour & birth- discussing  hormone's roles & the physiological process.

• Where you can give birth- discussing hospital, mid wife led, water & home births
