YOUR BIRTH YOUR BABY

Welcome to this popular and friendly, face-to-face Antenatal & Hypnobirthing Course providing positive preparation for birth and early parenting sessions for local pregnant women and their birth partner/supporter from 20 weeks of pregnancy onwards.

Led by a former NHS midwife of many years experience in antenatal education, Jo is also a trained and passionate hypnobirthing teacher. Your Birth Your Baby courses take place in a convenient and pleasant central Hale setting on Saturdays and Sundays (Hale WA15) or on Tuesday evenings (Knutsford WA16)

We are confident you will find your chosen course  friendly, informative and enjoyable. Please get in touch for upcoming dates and availability.

You’re probably here because you already understand the importance of feeling informed, confident and self-empowered during this exciting and sometimes overwhelming time. Whether this is your first, your only, your next or your last baby, how you approach your preparation for birth and early parenting is a significant and very personal decision.

In choosing YBYB, you get not only a qualified midwife, but also a certified hypnobirthing teacher, an expert antenatal educator and a proud mum of 4, all rolled into one!

As an NHS midwife, I had the privilege of supporting many women throughout their pregnancy, birth and postnatal journeys. Women from all backgrounds, with diverse clinical histories and each one with either their own unique set of birth preferences or a ‘plan’ to ‘go with the flow’ (more about that later!). Women experiencing all types of birth (vaginal birth, caesarean birth, water-birth, assisted vaginal birth, induction, spontaneous onset, choosing an epidural and so on), whether on the birth centre, at home or on the obstetric unit. Not forgetting a speedy arrival in the corridor and a car-birth outside a birth centre (both whilst away on my very eventful final year placement as a student midwife!).

So, firstly let me assure you that the YBYB course is founded upon years of relevant professional (and some personal) experience and is most definitely inclusive of ALL types of birth, ALL types of birthing person and ALL types of birthing partner.

You will benefit from a comprehensive 12 hour in-person program, that begins with a fundamental understanding of how your birthing body works on a muscular and hormonal level, and progresses through 4 informative, interactive and thought provoking modules.

There is also an additional ‘Catch-up and Questions’ group session. This live online evening session (which takes place at a time to suit all within a month of your chosen course end date) has evolved so I can be sure to further realise the many advantages of an interactive, face-to-face midwife led course versus a more impersonal ‘one size fits all’ prerecorded course. Having this extra 3 hours built into the structure of the course (now a grand total of 15 hours of contact time) gives me the flexibility to provide meaningful time to respond in detail and in real time to any questions throughout the course and to address and discuss individual needs in a more responsive way. This in turn means a more personalised experience for each and every member of the small group who attend the Your Birth Your Baby Antenatal & Hypnobirthing Course. As an added bonus it’s lovely to ‘meet’ each other again and catch up on how your hypnobirthing practice is coming along! See course content details at www.yourbirthyourbaby.co.uk
