Greetings, pregnant folks near me!

I am co-hosting a FREE weekend antenatal course on Saturday 30th November and Sunday 1st December 12-5pm with the glorious and we would love to have you come join us at the beautiful space has set up in Monymusk, Inverurie 😍

Thanks to the funding awarded to Aberdeen Birth Collective from Aberdeenshire Voluntary Action, we are able to now bring our popular ABC classes to various venues across Aberdeenshire, meaning greater access to excellent independent birth preparation for families across the Grampian area.

Operating in partnership with Grampian and Tayside Birth Partners, we will deliver a comprehensive antenatal class that covers a bit of everything, including decision making skills, navigating the NHS and positions for labour. To name just a few! Watch out for a special guest teacher or two from amongst our new recruits 👀

We have big plans to squeeze in three more intensive weekend classes before June 2025, and we would love your feedback on locations. So if you're newly pregnant and know of a great wee space near you, hit us up with the details and you could land an antenatal class right on your doorstep... Bonus points if you do some of the homework on weekend availability and hourly hire rates 😁

Excited to meet you, either at this one or the next!

Catch me umming and erring my thoughts on unattended birth in response to the recent statement from RCOG on birth without any medical intervention around 11.35am with the brilliant

So often in the world of birth support women and those who birth are pitted against one another. It was really nice to have a few minutes' sensible conversation about what is usually quite a divisive topic.

I heard an amazing story today where a warrior birther declined medication to stop contractions while having spinal anaesthesia administered, because they KNEW they could remain calm, still, and in control while the anaesthetist was doing their bit.

I was blown away, and I bet their care providers were too.

If you are planning to birth in a hospital or a birth centre and you've done a brilliant hypnobirthing course, this graphic is perfect to print out and stick on your door (better still, get your birth partner or ask your midwife to put it up for you) to let people know:

- you've done your homework
- you're prepared for birth
- you know your rights
- to protect your oxytocin

And... They might be surprised with what you can handle 💪🏻
