each birth is as individual as you
Not into hypnobirthing, but want some good, realistic and practical birth preparation? Suzanne draws on her decades of midwifery experience to bring you a full program of bespoke birth education to your home.
This is for you if:
you’d like to choose particular areas of birth preparation that suits you and your family
you’d rather have bespoke birth education in your home than go to classes or a workshop
you're feeling anxious or uncertain about labour and birth
you'd like more in-depth birth preparation than what you’ve been offered in the maternity system
you want practical, up-to-date information from a trained professional with experience of all types of birth
you've had a negative birth experience in the past
you're seeking a positive, joyful birthing experience that benefits both baby and you as parents
1-2-1 birth preparation

Some examples of what you will learn:
what to expect. Before labour, in early labour and in the dizzying heights of the birth.

pain relief options - what you need to know
info on medical interventions - forceps, caesarean section, inductions.
