FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is this a full birth course?
- This class covers the three stages of birth, and reveals what the usual midwife birthing course doesn't, so you can prepare better for the decisions you'll be required to make under pressure.
Is the class fee reimbursable?
- You'll need to check this with your insurance provider and/or employer. We invoice under Adult Education, which is not charged VAT/BTW.
Can you really ensure a birth with no breach?
- We can share with you the things we did to help our baby find the right position for a natural birth.
How do you ensure a birth with no episiotomy?
- The pelvic floor needs to be trained to expand. We share with you the method and tools we used to give birth without tearing the perineal muscles or misshaping our baby's head.
Will you be able to help during the birth?
