My Birthtalk birth

Emma talks about the birth of her firstborn:

A better birth first time round

“Elizabeth Jane was born on Friday morning. She was still in the breech position, but was born vaginally.  Birthtalk was a really important part of our antenatal education, and I don't know that I would have had the confidence in my body, or the confidence to question the status quo without the information we gained from the meetings. I feel very blessed to have had a great birth experience, and I hope that more women will share that joy because of you. Thankyou!”
Emma, Gary & Elizabeth”

What is a Better Birth?

Regardless of how your birth unfolds, there are many ways to work towards a better experience of birth.

It is not about trying to control the actual event of childbirth.
It is not about whether you have gas or pethidine, or a waterbirth or a caesarean.


It is about walking away from your birth feeling strong, positive, and confident.

It is about knowing what things are important in birth for you to feel good about it and gain from it, and how to get them.

A Better Birth means feeling part of the decision-making, which is a key factor many women report made their birth a positive event...regardless of how the birth unfolded.

Our Path to a better birth course provides vital info about what women need to know to plan a Better Birth.
