Create space in the uterus and pelvis for labour to start ‘on time’, baby to descend through the pelvis efficiently, the cervix progresses quickly, and you experience a natural vaginal birth.

When you have balanced ligaments in the uterus and pelvis, you are physically preparing your body to have a progressive, efficient labour progression, and birth experience.

When your pregnant body is balanced:

• Your labour can start when nature intended

• Your baby can engage and descend through the pelvis with ease and efficiency

• Your cervix progresses effectively

Accumulatively, allowing you to have a natural birth.

ASAP after 20 weeks of pregnancy- to physically prepare your body for birth.

Build confidence and trust in your body, mind, and partner to birth naturally.

As a midwife, I teach you and your partner this vital knowledge for natural birth:

• How the hormones work in labour, and how we can optimise the flow of your hormones to allow labour to flow naturally and efficiently

• The birth partners ESSENTIAL role in labour

• How to create space in the pelvis to allow baby to decend through the pelvis- Positions and movement (what we call our intentionally active labour)

• How labour and birth actually work- progression of contractions, how baby descends etc.

• How to effectively make evidence based decisions that align with you and your partner- feel confident and responsible into your decision making process (important for an emotionally satisfying birth experience)

• How to cope with pain in labour- 7 techniques to build your resilience towards labour pains

• Pain relief options (Both Pharmacological and non-Pharmacological)

• If you do decide some sort of medical intervention is necessary (epidural, induction) how to keep it to the natural path as much as possible (NBC is a big believer that birth doesn’t have to be 100% medical or natural, balance is key, and safety is first priority)

• If labour does stall (leading to a C-SECTION or INSTRUMENTAL BIRTH) how to recognise the stall, perform various midwifery movements and positions to move the obstacle from within the pelvis, allowing your labour to continue as nature intended

• Your partner will receive a booklet that is his birth bible- explains each step how to support you and enhance your natural birth progression.

• You will receive a 5 video series to practise regularly developing your skills on coping with pain in labour.

• Regular check ins from our Midwife Amy to hold you accountable to your mock contraction prep, fine tune your birth preference checklist, help discuss decisions that may arise for you during the remainder of your pregnancy. You have access to Amy for all birthing questions have.

Any time after 28 weeks of pregnancy.
