	Birth is not bad. But how a lot of women & couples experience birth is not good. And usually because they are scared and unsupported, and have not been given the right information. Birth can be wonderful, and amazing, and – yes – full-on…but birth does not have to be scary. At Birthtalk you will hear reassuring stories, gain valuable information, and learn vital skills to enable you to make any birth an empowering experience. Make decisions about your baby’s future from knowledge, not fear. Let your partner support you with confidence that comes from understanding birth, learning about our hospital system, and finding out just what you will need from him. Hear stories of women birthing and talking of feeling strong, confident and surrounded by people who care about them. Plan your child’s arrival … with careful thought, with the strength that comes from having the right knowledge, and with great love.

Or see our new “Mythbusting Evenings.&rdquo	I would recommend Birthtalk to everyone! I would particularly recommend it to first-time mums who are scared because they have only ever heard the horror stories, seen the dramatic scenes of blood, pain, boiling water and towels on TV and think that this is the only way that birth is.
