1:1 Birth Preparation Session
A focused 2-hour session to explore specific questions, decisions or concerns and feel clearer about your birth preparation.
About this session
This is focused, one-off birth preparation for when you have specific questions, decisions or areas you want time to explore.
​
You might be weighing up your options, trying to put together your birth preferences, preparing for a planned caesarean or simply feeling a bit muddled by everything you have read and heard.
​
We start with what you need most and use the two hours to focus on that.
​
This is not a full antenatal course and we will not try to cover everything about birth, feeding and life with a newborn. It is dedicated time to talk through the things that matter most to you.
Not everyone needs a full antenatal course
You may already have attended antenatal classes, had a baby before or done plenty of your own reading and research.
​
But having lots of information does not always make it easier to know what applies to you or what you want to do next.
​
Sometimes it helps to have proper time to ask questions, make sense of your options and talk things through without feeling rushed.
​
That is exactly what this session is for.
What can we use the session for?
There is no set agenda. We focus on the questions and topics that feel most useful to you.
​
You might use the session to:
Talk through your birth preferences or put together a birth plan
Explore induction of labour, caesarean birth, pain relief or other birth options
Prepare for a planned caesarean birth
Think about what you would like to approach differently after a previous birth experience
Talk through feeding plans or preparing for the early days with your baby
Make sense of conflicting information or advice
Prepare questions to discuss with your midwife or maternity team
Ask the questions you have not had time or space to ask elsewhere

“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.”
