This will not only influence how you felt about giving birth, but it also has an enormous impact of how your body responds and is able to work with birth, and we delve deeper into understanding this. We also show you how you can use the inner resources you already have to effectively prepare your mindset to achieve the birth experience you are after.
It's very hard to have a confident mindset about birth if you don’t understand what it's all about. This is where we explore the mind-body-birth connection. You and your partner will learn everything you need to understand how your body prepares for, and works during birth and importantly, how you and your partner can support this.
