10 Ways to Prepare for Birth
‘Preparing for birth’ can feel pretty overwhelming.. do you do pregnancy yoga? Aquanatal? PT? Hypnobirthing? Antenatal Classes? NCT? Just chat to your midwife? Ask friends and family?
It’s no surprise really that most of us get so confused by all this that we just end up covering our ears and ‘going with the flow’ is it?
I wanted to share 10 ways that we, here at birth-ed, can support your journey to parenthood. I challenge you to pick just ONE thing off the list and do it TODAY.
