Birth related

Now the drama of doing the whole Childbirth Course is over, and you have time to reflect, you may feel that you need to just sit down and go over some points for clarification.

  • You may want more information on Labour or Birth
    You may want to watch more videos on labour or birth.
  • You may want to bring your Baby for show and tell or to debrief your story, which could help others. ( we will only discuss your labour and Birth)

 Baby Related

This can be while you are still Pregnant or after Baby is Born or both.

  • General Breastfeeding issues. (Not a Lactation consultation)
    You may want to find out more about settling your baby,
  • You may just want to bring your Baby for show and tell. ( No Birth Discussions apart from Congratulations)
