This is not about labour & birth being easy, it is about putting yourself at the centre of your care. It is about managing the different challenges of labour & birth and knowing what you can do.

Only 27% of labours are without intervention, so it is important to know about induction, caesareans, assisted delivery and epidurals. This gives you knowledge about your options and how to stay calm if labour becomes more complicated.

By the end of your antenatal course, you will know more about…

  • EARLY LABOUR
    What to expect, knowing your options, managing your contractions and managing your energy when you are at home
  • ESTABLISHED LABOUR & GIVING BIRTH
    What to expect, managing your contractions, managing your energy, pain relief, knowing your options
  • WHAT CAN HELP & WHAT CAN HINDER
    Knowledge that can make a big difference in labour, birth, with epidurals and induction
  • GOOD BIRTH SUPPORT
    So birth partners know how to help and how to be an advocate
  • EFFECTIVE POSITIONS FOR PREGNANCY, LABOUR & BIRTH
    To move, rest & use gravity to help with contractions, epidurals, induction and to be more comfortable
  • USING YOUR BREATHING
    To stay calm, to work with contractions, to use with all births and to head off any panic
  • INDUCTION, EPIDURAL & CAESAREANS
    These can all become necessary so it helps to be better prepared and to know more about your options
  • USING PAIN RELIEF EFFECTIVELY
