You may not wish to hire a doula to attend the birth, but may benefit from discussing what will happen during your birth or your previous birth experiences and ways to improve upon them this time around. This can be done in a private session that is tailored to your individual needs without having to listen to a generalised discussion in a big group, wait your turn to ask questions or have to take part in any team bonding exercises! I will be able to share ideas and ways of preparing for the birth and postnatal period and you can ask as many questions as you like! This is also a good opportunity for your birth partner to find out how they can support you best through your labour and birth. Birth Preparation Workshop This is a 3 hour private discussion in your home that will inform you and your partner about the birth process. You will receive totally unbiased information about the birth process and the options available to you. This will include; An opportunity to ‘debrief’ any previous birth experiences. A chance to voice any worries and concerns in a private, safe space with no fears of feeling ‘judged’ - The 'Roadmap of Labour' and the birth process - pain relief options - Hormones and the effect the birth environment has on labour - Positions to encourage straightforward labour and birth - help formulating a birth plan document or your birth preferences - Hospital procedures and communicating with health professionals - Induction and Augmentation …and more. Includes e-mail/ telephone support to clarify information or answer specific questions after the session. If you wish to book me to attend the birth following one of these sessions the entire cost will be deducted from the Birth Package fee. |
