1:1 Birth Preparation Session
A dedicated 2-hour session to talk things through, explore your options and leave with greater clarity and confidence about your birth.
About this support
Perfect if you've got questions, feel unsure, or just want to talk things through with someone who knows what matters. This is a one-off session - not a full antenatal course - for focused, personalised support without committing to a full programme.
Not everyone needs a full antenatal course
You might already have information. You've read books, listened to podcasts, spoken to friends or even attended antenatal classes before.
But information doesn't always create clarity.
Sometimes you just need dedicated time to talk things through with someone experienced, explore your options and work out what feels right for you.
That's where this session comes in.
What can we use the session for?
There is no set agenda. We use the time to focus on whatever feels most important to you. Some parents use the session to:
Talk through their birth preferences and create a birth plan
Explore induction, caesarean birth or other maternity care decisions
Understand what happened in a previous birth and what they would like to feel different this time
Prepare for a planned caesarean birth
Talk through feeding plans and the early days with a baby
Ask the questions they haven't had time or space to ask elsewhere
What you'll take away from the session
Clarity about your options and what they mean for you
Confidence in your decisions — not second-guessing
A chance to properly talk things through, without feeling rushed
A plan that feels realistic, flexible and right for you

“I'd already had one baby but felt really unsure going into this birth. Talking things through made such a difference - I understood what had happened before and felt much more confident about my options.”
