 Antenatal Birth Preparation Classes

Why I believe birth and parentcraft preparation classes are so important.

 Having a baby is a life changing experience and one that requires some preparation to ensure the decisions you make are the right ones for you. Childbirth is a really physical activity and requires some preparation. Would you run a marathon without preparing beforhand? Birth involves working with you body and your baby thus enabling the baby to make a series of movements to be born. Understanding what is happening and going with it really helps that process.

 Fear equates to tension and stress which inhibites the natural hormones that drive labour forward and help to birth your baby. Active birth classes helps you discover ways to work with your body in labour and points out pitfalls  to avoid thus increasing the likelyhood of achieving a natural birth.

I believe preparation for parenthood, practically for labour and birth is vital if women and their families are to understand the choices they have to make, and how those choices can influence the outcomes and their experiences of birth and parenting.

Having a positive birth experience has far reaching effects on a woman, her baby and her partner. It eases the transition to parenthood,  helps bonding, makes establishing breast feeding easier and reduces the incidence of post natal depression.
