Module 2 Preparing-the-mind-and-body
What you’ll learn – Module 2
Our experienced midwives will take you through the second session of your course, looking at helping you to prepare both your mind and body for parenthood
Preparing Mind and Body is based on what labour and birth is from a physiological and emotional perspective. Amina, our midwife and course leader believes “that reframing how we view birth and understanding how your birth hormones can affect your birth is key in having a positive and empowered birth experience – however that may be. We can’t predict or plan birth, but we can prepare positively for it.”
