I believe it is time to stop teaching ‘textbook’ versions of birth, breastfeeding, and early parenting.
Each experience is as individual as the child who is born.
Childbirth and Early Parenting Education is about helping you write your own unique story.
That is why Birth Savvy is an Independent Childbirth Education service passionate about helping you have the positive birthing and early parenting experience you deserve.
What is a positive birth experience?
Nature wants us to enjoy pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding, and early parenting. We are meant to want to do it again!
Birth Savvy childbirth, breastfeeding, and early parenting classes will teach you how to work with your body and baby.
They will also give you the information and confidence you need to make truly informed decisions and teach you ways to advocate for yourself.
Because a positive experience really is the first step in becoming the parent you want to be.
Why Birth Savvy classes are different…
Many hospitals now offer hospital run antenatal classes. Due to pressures on hospitals and obstetricians, some parents feel as if these classes focus more on giving information that supports the hospital’s practices, rather than empowering the family. Birth Savvy classes shift the emphasis back to endowing parents with the knowledge that will allow them to take back control of their own birth. By being clear on what you want, feeling empowered to ask for what you need, in any circumstance, parents can best work with their chosen hospital to create the birth experience they planned for.
There are many childbirth education services for Perth families that focus on completely natural home births and water births. While these have their place, I believe you can have a beautiful, empowering birth in any setting if you know what to ask for. Just because you have chosen to birth in a private hospital should not mean you have to have an induction or a caesarean section.
Birth Savvy Childbirth classes or private sessions will give you the confidence you need to make the choices that are right for you and your baby and to make sure you get the positive birthing experience you deserve.
Birth Savvy’s “Better Birth” workshops are a great way to reduce the ‘Fear of the Unknown” and start getting the information you need to get the birth you want. You will learn how to have a positive birth by making the right choices for you and your baby, and by being in control of your own birth experience.
REMEMBER: If you don’t know your options, you don’t have any.
