Birth & Beyond
A 1:1 course to give you the knowledge, the language and the confidence to birth your way
​
​
You've probably seen stories in the media, heard stories from others or got lost in a birth story well, 3hours deep and starting to question your life choices.
​
The internet is not a place to rest your mind for pregnant women.
​
Or, you may have gone the other way and, other than attend your midwife appointments, have read, or looked at nothing about birth.
​
Either way, you're probably working out that there's a lot more to birth, and the maternity system, than you initially thought.
​
Maybe you want something more than being led down a path that leaves you feeling a little squirmy in the stomach and like you've just seen a dog take a wizz on your beach towel.
​
​
Options your not been told about​
Your rights through this whole journey
How to voice your own opinion and decisions without being fobbed off
​
​
" I want to feel prepared, not just for what might happen- but whatever happens"
​
That is exactly what I want for you.
​
​
But the problem?
​
Nobody tells you that you can say NO
​
No to fasting yourself when monitoring daily will do.
No to not having someone else's fingers up your vagina 'just to see if you've started labour yet'
No to laying on your back, just because some pompous King once upon a time decided he liked to perv on women giving birth.
​
​
You get to question everything, and get real answers back. Not just the generic statements that many like to give. You can ask for the numbers, and how they influence you specifically.
​
Most women don't know this until it's too late, things have happened. You're already in the room, things are happening without your opinion being voiced.​​​​
​
​
I'm Amy, and I prepped for birth, I did the yoga classes, I did some antenatal classes, but all of that was forgotten after I left the room.
​
I still thought I'd go with the flow and everything will be ok. What will be, will be. Except, it wasn't anything like I wanted. I wanted to be taken seriously, instead I was told, repeatedly, to go home because I wasn't far enough along yet to be admitted, even though the pain was pretty awful.
​
I wasn't aware of all the choices, the opportunities to question what I was being told that will 'have to happen'.
​
I tell you what they won't, because you deserve to know.
Here's some side- effects from my Birth & Beyond course
​
-
You'll begin to notice the subtle words, the 'just's' in appointments and your instinct to question, why? will kick in
-
You'll start listening for facts, not generalised comments to make your decisions
-
You'll begin to work out what sounds good for you, and what doesn't
-
You may just get a t-shirt made with the words, 'finger me and I'll finger you back'
​
(OK, the last one is optional, but why not eh?!)
Me and my partner attended a fantastic antenatal class with Amy. Amy is a super friendly, lovely person with a calm energy, who helped prepare us for what to expect during labour and birth. I would highly recommend attending antenatal classes with Amy. She helped give me the confidence to speak up and advocate for my wants during my labour and birth.
