Hello, I have designed and will be teaching the half-day Partners Birth Rehearsal event on Saturday 30 Nov so I thought I would share the itinerary with you. It's a rich day of learning designed to empower you both.
I have been teaching this workshop for many years and have prepped hundreds of nappy valley couples for the birth journey experience.
If you would like to bring your partner and attend the rehearsal, you can book your ticket at the link below
Part 1
The Prep
Introductions
Birth Stories - the partner's perspective
Guided Relaxation and Visualisation
Presentation on the Hormones of Labour - this talk unlocks the flow of the birth and, within it, we also look at questions like when to transfer in? When and how to distract? When and how to support? The focus is on How the mother feels and how the hormones drive the action. This knowledge is fascinating and offers a clear care pathway through the labour.
Partners Exercise on creating the ideal environment at home, in transit, and in hospital.
Partners Exercise on Mindful Speaking and Listening: Sharing fears around labour, birth and new parenting
Part 2
The Rehearsal
Early labour - how to navigate with ease
Partners: How to support Sleeping and resting at inset and during labour
The shape of a contraction
A routine for being with contractions
Guiding her back from pain and resistance.
Movement and positions for Active Labour
Touch and Massage, Acupressure and Directed Breathing
Holding and supporting your partner during the second stage
Birth Advocacy.
This is a really practical day and you will finish with a really clear idea of how to navigate the day and nights of your birth journey.
