Birth + Beyond

Service Description

I believe everyone deserves access to great birth preparation before having a baby. Birth is often seen as 'risky' and this narrative is not helpful- it only feeds the fear. Good birth prep will tell you this as well as the facts about birth. GREAT birth prep will teach you all of that but also the HOW and WHAT to do to change this narrative. Upon completing this course you will: - Work together as the great team that you and your birth partner are, ready for whatever happens - Trust your body and baby, and that you will intuitively know what is needed - Know how to relax and breathe your way through labour - Be confident and know how to ask questions and navigate the system - Feel excited to meet your baby! Why take Antenatal Education classes with Amy? Now, I don’t come from a place where I can say that I had that empowered, perfect birth- far from it! But I am here to teach you HOW to have that positive birth experience, whatever may unfold. I am here to teach you everything I wish I knew when I had my babies. My passion lies with educating parents so they don’t struggle with what happens. Through the course you will learn everything from how a baby is born to creating the ideal birth environment for you. From the hormones that are needed for birth to preparing for your postpartum like the boss you are, and everything in between. On the 5th week, we will be joined by a special guest, taking you through nutrition, infant feeding, infant sleep and more! Classes are taking place at Milly May's Coffee Shop in Mickleover. Wednesdays 6:30PM- 8:30/9ish The dates for this course are: Feb 25th, Mar 4, 1, 18 & 25 The final session of the course will be lead by Lucy from Mind Body Tree. Lucy is a nutritionist and will take you through postpartum nutrition, so your body can have the energy to heal and replenish all that is lost through pregnancy and breastfeeding. "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" Leanne
