Planning for the birth of your baby can feel overwhelming! There are so many things to consider. From deciding what you want your environment to look and feel like, to choosing which positions you would like to labour in, there is a long list things to consider. Having a clear, personalized birth plan can help you feel prepared and ensure that your birth wishes are respected. That’s why we created our new birth planning workshop – to help you create a birth plan that supports your vision for your birth experience. And the best news, for a limited time we are offering it for FREE in exchange for your feedback!
What is a Birth Plan?
A birth plan is more than just a document—it's a reflection of your hopes, needs, and preferences for labor and birth. It's a tool that allows you to communicate your wishes with your care team so that everyone is on the same page. Whether you're planning a hospital birth, a home birth, or birth centre birth, your birth plan helps ensure that your needs are prioritized in a supportive and respectful way.
What Will You Gain from Our Workshop?
In our Birth Planning Workshop, you’ll walk away with a solid understanding of how to create a birth plan that’s both realistic and flexible. Here’s what you’ll gain:
Why birth planning matters: Why have a birth plan? What are the goals of a birth plan?
Flexibility & Pivots: How does having a plan help you stay calm and grounded in the face of pivots?
Mapping out your personalized preferences: Know your options for early labour, active labour, delivery and immediate postpartum.
Designing your plan: What length should your birth plan be? Is more information better?
Support and Community: You’ll be joining a group of like-minded expectant parents, providing a sense of community and shared learning. Our experienced team will be there to answer your questions and provide personalized advice.
