Birth Preparation Package

What happens during the births of our babies, has a direct impact on who we become as parents, this is why I believe that preparing for the birth that is right for you, your body and your baby is so important. My support will guide you through the information you need to make choices about your birth, how to navigate the system to ensure you are supported in the way you want and deserve and ensure that you have the tools to make your birth a positive and empowering experience.

During your sessions I will:

  • Offer you information about your birth choices based on what feels right for you and help you to explore any alternatives to ensure you are able to make fully informed decisions about what happens during your labour. This includes discussing things like where you can have your baby, how you want to birth your baby (in water, c-section etc), medical and none medical pain relief options and so much more.

  • Support you to navigate the ever changing and challenging maternity care system so that you (and your partner if you have one) are able to advocate for yourself. I will help you to understand your human rights during pregnancy, birth and postnatally and how to ensure those caring for you support you in the respectful and dignified way that you deserve.

  • Help you to understand the process of birth, no matter how you choose to birth your baby so that you can prepare mentally and emotionally for what you may experience physically during labour, birth and in the first few moment postnatally.

  • Give you tools that you can put into place to help you to achieve your ideal birth including creating a birth environment that will help you to feel calm during the stages of labour

  • Support your birth partner (if you have one) to support you, helping them prepare for what their role may entail and the things they can do to offer you the support you need

  • Be there for your between sessions to help signpost you to any information you need or offer a space to talk through anything that you are experiencing.

The above will be offered through:

  • 3 in person pregnancy support sessions - up to 2 hours per session

  • A birth plan template to complete and keep

  • Continuous text and email support between sessions until your baby is born

  • 1 online postnatal support session - 2 hours
