Frequently asked questions
This is entirely personal - I would suggest more than 30 weeks pregnant.
This workshop is for those who have chosen to have a caesarean section, those who want to avoid induction of labour (for example if they do not go into spontaneous labour but do not want to be induced) or those who are curious to know what all their options are.
There is space for 4 couples. This can be the birthing person and their birth partner (it is important that they know what is going to happen) or a friend/relative can accompany them.
Yes, tea, coffee, soft drinks will be available as well as pasties - I am a midwife, there will always be cake!
Sadly no, I do not have the space or capacity for children at the workshop.
No, I will run the workshop with just one couple, two, three or four!
