Planned Caesarean Birth Workshop

Empowering, Informative, and Supportive for You and Your Partner

Are you choosing a planned caesarean section for your birth? Or perhaps you’re considering your options to avoid induction of labour? Our Caesarean Birth Workshop is designed just for you.

This one-off, 2.5-hour workshop is the perfect space to feel calm, confident, and fully prepared for your birth journey.

During the workshop you will learn what to expect from your elective c-section, what happens before, on the day and immediately afterwards, postnatal care and tips and tricks to make your recovery as straightforward as possible so you can enjoy becoming new parents.

Run by a registered midwife and mother of 3 born via c-section, there is no such thing as a silly question and nothing off limits! You will leave the workshop feeling excited, empowered and ready to meet your baby!
