Having a range of tools to help you MANAGE EARLY LABOUR and STAY AT HOME LONGER can be hugely helpful. If you are low risk, the evidence shows that the longer you can stay at home the less likely you are to experience interventions. Comfort measures can help you manage your labour and give you the supports you need. these measures can also help support you if you need and induction, and can of course also be utilised as labour progresses and you move into the hospital or call your midwife to support you at your home birth.
We focus on EMPOWERING YOUR BIRTH PARTNER with information and practical tips to support you as you labour. Our experience is that partners usually want to be a help - but don’t know where to start. With this 2 hour workshop they will have so much knowledge and be aware of all they can do to help.
