This may be uncomfortable to hear, and apologies in advance if it is, but I need to say it, to get it out there.
I want you to feel confident, in control and supported, now, during labour, birth and beyond, but sadly it doesn’t always happen by accident.
You have to put the time in, and you have the time while you’re pregnant. I get you’re tiered, working and maybe have other kids (and life in general), but it’s a bit time sensitive, there is only so long you can put it off for!
I get it, I really do, life is busy and there are a million and one things you need to do in general, then you pop a baby into the mix. I’m a mum of two, so I do get it!
I’ve spent a decade dedicated to this. To helping and supporting expectant parents like you. I’m a doula so I am actually in the birth space, I see it in real time. The parents that put the work in, move through it differently, not without challenge sometimes, but differently. They know their stuff, how to ask questions and feel more in control, and that ripples.
Birth is a HUGE event, at pregnancy yoga this week we briefly chatted about how we spend so much time planning a wedding (while working and all the life stuff), but do it. Yet when it comes to birth, sometimes it comes to the last thing on the list, something that you plan to get around to but maybe don’t. I would argue giving birth is a bigger event (as a married mum of 2, who spent a year actively planning her wedding, while being pregnant and buying a house, my wedding was 16 weeks after my wedding day).
To cut a long post short, I want you to feel how you should feel when you have your baby. I want you to feel like you can (and will) ask questions if needed, and make informed decisions. I want your birth partner to feel like they really had your back, not an anxious mess in the side of the room.
If your running short on time, I run ‘One Day Practical Birth Prep’ courses in Southport.
