Birth Consults
Preparing for your Birth can be a stressful, overwhelming and confusing task. You have enough to organise, wouldn’t it be nice if someone came to your house to talk to you about your fears, what scares you, what complications you are worried about? Take the opportunity to discuss your preferences, get informed about what these entail, ask about all the things no one tells you about. Take the opportunity to get your partner involved and make a plan on how they can be involved.
In addition to this service you can have a Birth debrief to chat about your birth and everything that made up this wonderful day. How you felt, if you have questions and why things happened. This is an opportunity to gush, vent or simply discuss your birth events with someone who understands, and knows your original preferences. A chance to celebrate and work through your birth story together over a cuppa.

Statistics:
- In the last 50 years the average fertility rate has dropped from 3.5 to just less than 2 children.
- In 20 years the percentage of women ofver 30 having their first child has risen from 23% to 43%. This could indicate more pressure or more need to intervene in your birth, as well as an increasing the possibility of less children. Your first birth does not have to define all your births, but it can certainly pave the way to easier and better subsequent births.
