Webinar 1 - The Path to a Natural Birth: Unlocking the 6 Principles for a Positive Labor. 

Are you wanting to give natural, unmedicated childbirth a go?

In this webinar you'll learn six principles that will guide you in preparing for a natural birth. 

1. Let labour begin on its own. Allowing labour to start naturally reduces the risk of medical interventions promoting a more comfortable and physiologically sound birth experience.

2. Walk, move, and change positions. Staying active and changing positions during labour helps ease discomfort, improves circulation, and assists in your baby's descent through your birth canal.

3. Bring a loved one, friend, or doula for support. Emotional support during labour can reduce stress and anxiety, enhance feelings of empowerment, and provide you with comfort.

4. Avoid unnecessary medical interventions. Minimizing medical interventions when not medically necessary reduces potential risks and complications, promoting a more natural and healthy birth.

5. Get upright and follow urges to push. Upright positions and following your body's natural urges to push can make birth more efficient, potentially reducing the risk of interventions.

6. Keep mother and baby together. This helps promotes bonding, breastfeeding, and a sense of security for you both, supporting a smoother transition into postpartum life.

These principles will empower you and give you knowledge and confidence, contributing to a more positive and satisfying birth experience while prioritizing the health and well-being of both you and your baby.
