Have you ever listened to that internal voice and heard yourself using a put-down towards yourself?
EG: I'm too scared / dumb / ugly / etc /etc / etc.
When our brains hear our negative thoughts, our brains believe what we put in.
By reframing, and telling ourselves!
EG: I am getting braver / smarter / prettier /etc /etc/etc
Our brains start to believe this new, not yet truth, and make changes towards the goal we want to achieve.

In Birth, thinking "I am scared" only makes us scared.
Flipping that internal dialogue to "I am learning skills to be brave" helps us feel more positive, like we have a way to feel brave.

This and many other tools are learned in our Positive Birth Program.

Going into the most transformative day of your life should be well prepared. Especially if you want it to feel Empowered by that transformation.

Imagine rocking up at a venue and saying " let's get married today".
Or, let's just go with the flow on the day!

How much planning and preparation goes into that one dig day?
A LOT I imagine (I can remember, but it was 4 decades ago)

As much, if not more preparation should go into learning about what happens in birth. If you have no plan, no preparation, and no real knowledge, then how do you cope when things get real in labour?
Going with the flow, is not a plan.
As they say, failing to plan, is planning to fail.

I want everyone to emerge from their birth feeling they had the knowledge, tools and support for the most important day of their lives.

Their is no option for a do-over for a birth that leaves you feeling dis-empowered.

Exactly:
Feeling proud of yourselves for growing and birthing a baby is the most important feeling.
More importantly than HOW a baby is born.
Is HOW parents are created in the process of birth.

Even an unplanned caesarean birth can be Empowering when you have the right preparation, support and tools.
Feeling a sense of pride, as you start your parenting journey, is so very much more important than the "Insta Worthy" birth that is false and misleading.

Feeling Proud is the most important feeling of all.

Yes; this blows my mind.

Hospital Birthing classes teach you about what is done to you in Birth. What drugs are available for your "comfort" and very little emphasis on coping strategies.

In contrast:

Independent Birthing class come from the perspective that the majority of healthy mums and bubs can have a spontaneous labour and natural birth without intervention. However 95% of births in hospital have some form of intervention.
Empowered to Birth's Positive Birth Program touches in drugs, but the main emphasis is understanding the process of birth, what is happening in the uterus and to the baby. And, importantly, the amazing cocktail of hormones designed for safety, efficiency and comfort. Our participants learn how to harness what nature has provided. and so much more.

Come along and find out for yourself. So many happy families have.
Limited numbers in class, so book today.

Many people prepare for birth with one type of birth in mind, and if, on the day, there are twists and turns, some feel disappointed, or even traumatised when intervention was required for safety.
Couples who attend Empowered to Birth's, Positive Birth Program, have the dream and preparation for an unmedicated, natural birth. However they also know and understand what interventions might be needed. They also have a format of questions to use with their care provider to ensure these interventions are truly needed.

Book your class now so you too can learn these skills.

I was shocked and saddened to hear this response.
Of course you have rights
Of course you have say over what happens to your body.
Of course you get to call the shots.
Why wouldn't you? It is your body, your baby, your birth.

The medical care providers are their to support your choices.

If you have not prepared,
if you don't know what hospital policies are going to recommend
if you don't understand the process of how your body works in labour;

The whole experience can be overwhelming and many succumb to the suggestions of an unknown care provider they have only just met, someone who doesn't know them.

This is where quality preparation for birth with a midwife who knows the system can really help give you that voice to ask questions and make your own decisions based on the information your care providers help you with on the day.

I can't wait to help you too prepare for that awesome birth you dream of.

YES: this is it.
How can you prepare for birth unless you are on the same page with your birth support person?
Answer:
Prepare for birth together.
How:
By coming to a class, dedicating 12 hours of face to face time, you carve out that common ground to start birth preparation together.

After class, I asked couples to tell me one thing that stuck in their mind.
Someone said they didn't realise how the talk of others, the comments on social media, the negativity of others; had all impacted on how they were preparing for birth.

What if you could shrug off the toxic negativity of others to focus on your own birth preparation?

This, amongst other things are the focus on our Positive Birth Program.
