How to Prepare Your Birth Partner for an Active Birth
Even with preparation, labour can be unpredictable. A Couples Active Birth Workshop equips partners to stay flexible, communicate effectively, and assist in decision-making if things don’t go exactly as planned.
Being in the moment
I was really grateful for being able to move around during labour and the midwives supported my birth preferences. Having my partner Lachlan there by my side except for 2 quick toilet breaks, was also so incredible and vital for me!
A bag full of tricks
I can honestly say that the workshop allowed Mike and I to make informed, evidence-based decisions about the birth. We felt confident to voice our concerns and decisions to the medical professionals which was such a gift.
Breathing, massage and rocking
We certainly used the breathing, massage and rocking techniques during labour. I was able to rely so much on Jake and his practice and confidence learned from classes are the reason.
Unplanned but transcendent
You're active birth workshop was so useful and my husband was looking at the workbook as I was labouring as a reminder and was very much comforted by his ability to support me.
