Bloom Birthing offers antenatal courses and sessions designed to prepare families for their upcoming birth. Sessions will inform you on what to expect and the options available to you throughout your birth journey. I seek to help you feel empowered in making the choices that are right for you.
Courses and sessions can be offered online, on an individual basis or as part of a group course (once lockdown restictions are lifted).
Topics covered as part of the full antenatal course are:
The stages of labour – what happens in each and why each is important
Coping mechanisms for labour – relaxation techniques, pain relief options
Possible interventions in labour – induction, assisted delivery, caesarean; what to expect
Role of the birth partner – holding a safe and supportive space
Birth settings – creating the right environment for you
Making a Birth Plan – what does a positive experience mean to you?
Feeding choices – Breast/bottle feeding and expressing milk
The newborn baby – what to expect from your new bundle
Postnatal care – looking after yourself and your relationships
I also offer postnatal support sessions, which can take a variety of forms to suit your needs.
