Birth Essentials: What Each Session Will Cover

Join me as we explore key aspects of birth preparation, giving you the choice to pick and choose what you learn. Each session is designed to give you the knowledge and confidence to approach birth feeling informed and empowered.

1.Creating a Birth Plan/Preferences

We’ll go through what to include in your birth plan, exploring different options so you can make choices that feel right for you. This session will help you create a flexible plan that reflects your preferences while preparing for the unexpected.

2.The Birth Partner Toolkit

A strong birth partner can make a big difference.

This session focuses on their role, how they can provide both emotional and practical support, and ways to stay involved throughout labour. We'll cover simple techniques to keep the environment calm and help the birthing person feel safe and supported.

3.The Birth Process

Understanding the stages of labour is key to feeling prepared. I’ll break it down in a clear and simple way, so you know what to expect at each stage and how to work with your body during labour.

4.Creating a Calm Birth Environment

Even in a hospital setting, small changes can make a big impact. In this session, we’ll discuss practical ways to create a calm and supportive space for birth, no matter where you are.

5.Induction Awareness

If you are considering or you have been advised to have an induction, it helps to understand the process without fear or pressure. We’ll go through the different methods, the reasons for induction, and how to make informed decisions using the BRAIN acronym (Benefits, Risks, Alternatives, Instinct, Nothing). This session takes a non-judgmental approach, giving you balanced information.

Each session is designed to give you practical knowledge and confidence. Whether you’re planning a home birth, hospital birth, or something in between, these sessions will help you feel more in control of your experience.
