Summary

This free online pregnancy workshop is taught by one of our Specialist Education Midwives.

We recommend that you attend this class with your birth partner from 12 weeks of pregnancy to help you identify what you need in order to prepare for your baby's birth. 

During this 45-60 minute workshop our Midiwfe facilitator will discuss:

  • Why we recommend you plan & prepare for birth

  • Why is it important to consider all potential types of birth

  • How useful plans are and the difference between plans, preferences and intentions 

  • Common concerns pregnant people and their partners have about birth and how we can support you including what classes we offer 

  • How to record your birth plan

  • Why and when to share you birth plan with your community/named midwife

Our Facilitator will also guide you through a couple of reflective activities to help you to identify the most important elements for you to have a positive birth experience and what you need to do/know to achieve this.

There will also be time to answer your questions about developing your personlised care plan and selecting parent education classes.

Please note that this session is intended to support you to recognise what you need to learn/practice/research in order to prepare for birth and develop your personalised care plan. It does not include educational information about specific choices e.g, the benefits or risks of pain relief

Your ticket enables you and your birth parter to attend the session together on the same device.
