Why should you use GentleBirth?

Hey, I get it – when you’re pregnant there are so many decisions to make. There are hundreds of different types of strollers, car seat, maternity wear etc. Your well being in pregnancy is no different. Loads of decisions – hospital, midwife, obstetrician, doula, childbirth course…..

What makes GentleBirth so different to all those other courses out there?

1.) There is not a single person on this earth that can guarantee you that you’ll have the exact type of birth you want – fact. GentleBirth does not shy away from preparing you for the unexpected. Whilst GentleBirth will always help you work towards your ideal birth we don’t just stop there. We ensure that you are fully prepared for anything that may pop up on the day. You will always remember the day your baby is born, you will carry that memory forever. GentleBirth gives you the mental coping techniques to ensure that regardless of how that day goes, you can still have a positive experience. You may not be able to control what happens on the day but join us in a GentleBirth workshop and we will teach you how to control the controllables 😉

2.) GentleBirth does not attempt to define what birth should be – that’s your first job as a Mom! Your positive birth is defined by you, not by a doctor or midwife or an antenatal class for that matter. Whether you want a homebirth, an epidural or a planned cesarean, the GentleBirth program is able to support you on that journey.

3.) GentleBirth takes you far beyond the birth of your baby. See the special thing about GentleBirth is it’s not a childbirth method, it is a mindset. The skills you learn in a workshop are something you will take with you far beyond the birth. You will be able to apply these techniques in your day to day life. Stress plays such a huge part in most people’s lives, but, using what you learn from GentleBirth can be a game changer for you as you transition into the postpartum and parenting.

4.) Birth Partners! Our GentleBirth Birth Partners are amazing in every sense of the word. To quote Tracy Donegan – “Mom’s job in labor is to get into the zone, birth partners job is everything else”. Whether it’s getting Mom a drink, giving her a massage, working on acupressure points they learned at the their GentleBirth workshop or using the mental coping techniques they learn to help re focus Mom, the birth partners come out of our workshops informed, ready and confident. Being on the same page with your birth partner is so crucial when it comes to feeling supported and safe on the day. Your birth partner knows you better than anyone in the room and after a GentleBirth workshop they are comfortable in advocating your wishes when your busy with your head phones in 😉

5.) The GentleBirth App – award winning and an innovation when it comes to childbirth education. If you’re like me at all you’ve a busy life.
