PREGNANCY EDUCATION

LABOR & BIRTH EDUCATION

THE POSTPARTUM & NEWBORN CARE

The insights share in this course are designed to “hold your hand” like a caring best-friend or wise Aunty, and gently guide you through each phase, week and trimester of the pregnancy journey, so at every step along the journey, you feel informed and empowered. Knowledge is power.

The knowledge and techniques to understand the Three Phases of Labour and Four Stages of Childbirth, and incredibly comprehensive! Fear (adrenaline) is the enemy of Oxytocin (the hormone that dilatates your cervix) and Kathy’s GOAL is to do everything in her power to ensure you receive everything you need, to be able to face childbirth feeling excited with anticipation, not racked with fear. The less fear women have during labor, the stronger oxytocin can dominate, the faster her cervix dilatates, and the more normal, low-risk and safer her labor can stay, leading to far improved chances of her baby experiencing a non-traumatic non-dramatic birth. Knowledge is power.

The first six postnatal weeks of mothering a newborn are tough - especially for first-time mothers. But the more knowledge you have accumulated before giving birth about the postpartum journey and caring for a neonate, then the smoother things can go in that first couple of months. You want to become an ‘expert’ in things like symptoms of postpartum infection, treatments for sore nipples, understanding the science and art of breastfeeding including colostrum/foremilk/hindmilk, knowing what a newborn’s Hungry cues are, and recognizing a newborn’s Tired Signs ...so that both you AND YOUR BABY can experience the best possible 4^th Trimester!
