push prep 101
The pushing phase of labour is essential information often overlooked when learning about birth. Many first-time mamas assume the pushing phase of labour will come naturally, or it's the part of labour they fear most.
In this practical, confidence-building workshop you will learn how to effectively guide (push) your baby into the world, multiple labour and birth positions to make the pushing phase easier on you and baby and how to listen to your body - cues and ways to make this stage of labour more effective (and possibly shorter)!
This course is a GREAT confidence booster for birth partners. They love learning practical things they can do to best support birthing mamas.
