Instrumental birth might not be top of your birth preferences, but when truly needed you can still have such a positive birth experience. “I have never felt such joy and euphoria in that moment, it was perfect.”

A last minute switch to home birth due to COVID-19 led to a truly wonderful birth experience for this first time mummy.

Rose (@rosielondoner) and her husband attended a birth-ed course in preparation for the birth of their daughter Lily Valentine, one of the most beautiful home water birth stories I’ve had the pleasure of reading.

As the shape of the maternity system changes, it’s important to us at birth-ed, that our courses remain up to date and relevant. All of the content shared throughout our Online Antenatal and Hypnobirthing Course is still particularly relevant to giving birth at this time. But as some guidelines change around the way care is offered in the UK, we wanted to share some specific support for women and birth partners during this time. So, we bring you this NEW module, completely FREE- ‘How to have a positive birth during a pandemic’.

So it seems to be the case that many hospitals are limiting visits to the postnatal ward after birth, so I wanted to share some ideas for partners bonding with babies if they are sadly separate from you both for some hours or days after birth itself.
