Birth Planning Session

*includes preparing and planning for a VBAC (vaginal birth after previous caesarean)*

Session length: 90 minutes

Every birth is different, and your birth preferences should reflect your values, priorities and circumstances.

This private 90 minute Birth Planning Session is designed to help you feel informed, confident and prepared to make decisions about your labour and birth. Whether you're hoping for a straightforward vaginal birth, planning an induction, preparing for a caesarean birth or simply don't know where to start, we'll work together to create a personalised birth plan that feels right for you.

During the session we'll discuss:

• Your birth preferences and priorities.
• Pain relief options and coping strategies.
• Monitoring, interventions and informed decision-making.
• Induction of labour, assisted birth and caesarean birth if relevant.
• Delayed cord clamping, skin-to-skin and your baby's first hour.
• Feeding choices and your immediate postnatal wishes.
• How to make your birth plan flexible if circumstances change.

This is about understanding your options, knowing what matters most to you, and feeling confident to advocate for yourself throughout your baby's birth.

Following your session, you'll receive a personalised digital birth plan template to complete or adapt, along with the opportunity to ask any follow-up questions via what's app within seven days.

Suitable from around 28 weeks of pregnancy onwards, although you are welcome to book earlier if you would like more time to consider your options.
