PANDEMIC UPDATE - due to the current physical distancing restrictions imposed as a result of the pandemic, I will be running these classes virtually. Please check this page for updates.
Stepping into the world of pregnancy and babies is an exciting and special time. But it can also be daunting and somewhat overwhelming. With all the medical jargon, there is a lot to get your head around. We also have lots of questions and are faced with our potential fears about giving birth.
Reducing any fears at the prospect of having a baby can greatly increase the likelihood of having a positive birth experience. We can help tackle fears by gaining knowledge, understanding our choices and by being prepared.
Understanding the natural processes our bodies go through during labour and birth is the first step towards having an empowering birth experience. Considering and planning how we would like to give birth and knowing (and understanding) our choices are equally very important.
The primary aim of this class is to promote a positive birth experience. Whatever your choices for labour and birth, this class is designed to inform and empower. Knowledge is power, as they say, and none even more so than during childbirth.
In the class you will:
- understand what happens physically during labour and birth and what to expect
- become informed about your options
- understand the process of induction and how to avoid it
- begin creating a simple yet informative birth plan
- think about what to pack in your hospital bag
- learn positions for labour and breathing techniques
- involve your birth partner in a positive way
- understand what happens during The Golden Hour (after birth)
- leave feeling more prepared and empowered about your birth!
Each class runs for approximately 2.5 hours and costs £60 per person/couple. Places are limited to 8 per class.
