Birth Preparation Classes
The journey ahead
Often when we are preparing for birth we are searching for answers. Maybe you are asking women who have birthed before, or your Lead Maternity Carer, these avenues can be helpful. However, I believe you first need to ask yourself a question …. ‘what do I need to know, in order to birth my baby?’
Given how birth culture and practices have changed over the years, it is likely that women have misplaced the ability to trust our own instincts. Perhaps unknown to us, we have been taught to fear aspects of birth and how it might unfold. Often birth choices are influenced by this.
‘No matter how much pressure our society may bring upon us to pretend otherwise, pregnancy, labor, and birth produce very powerful changes in women’s bodies, psyches, and lives, no matter by which exit route -natural or surgical- babies are born.” - Ina May Gaskin.
Birth is hard work! And you can do it!
How birth and parenthood unfolds for families is unique for each individual. It will certainly push you out of your comfort zone and challenge you. Often this can lead to feeling scared, confused, anxious and second guessing yourself. These emotions do not support birth or your parenthood journey. Potentially delaying labour or perhaps cause emotional distress in parenthood, if these concerns aren’t address. Would you be interested to discover what could help support you before/during/after birth?
Start your unique journey with Unique Beginnings
I provide a birth preparation service that enables you to explore beyond your current comfort parameters prior to this changing and exciting time in your life. These classes and workshops are private and catered to each unique need. They are safe from blame, shame and judgement. Enabling participants to explore feelings, fears and hopes leading into their own unique birth. Perhaps you have concerns about where you will birth, how you will birth or concerns with previous births that are impacting your birth choices? Exploring your emotions around concerns like these enables participants to face their fears with compassion and start a journey to self-discovery. Which will help you to make decisions and birth in awareness.
"From the first visit, I had a huge sense of relief that someone understood me. Rebecca took the time to sit, observe and just talk, it was really refreshing. Rebecca is really down to earth, approachable, friendly, professional who just brings the calm with her. Her advice and support are priceless!"
