Birth Preparation Sessions

Birth preparation sessions provide parents with some dedicated one-to-one time to explore their options for their pregnancy, labour, labour, birth and postpartum. By gaining information parents can be empowered to make choices that work best for their family.

One of the most common worries about childbirth is about discomfort during labour. During the sessions a range of natural pain coping strategies are introduced and practiced, helping you to find the ones that work best for you. Information about other pain relief options are also discussed and explored, giving you the information you need to be able to make informed decisions.

Some of the topics that can be covered in birth preparation sessions include the birth environment, hormones of birth, birthing positions, writing your birth preferences, breastfeeding and other postpartum issues.

To support you on your journey into motherhood, a range of approaches and methods are combined, including relaxation and visualisation, breathing techniques, birth art and tools from ‘Birthing From Within’ ®.
