BIRTH WORKSHOP
This intermediate workshop engages the expectant
mother to further discover and trust her body’s innate wisdom and ability to
give birth through more exercises, breathing and relaxation. This workshop also
aims to further educate expectant parents on how to deal with hospital
procedures and to work effectively with your caregiver/birthing team; how to
prepare your own birthing plan; and how to make informed decisions in case of
complications or if the unexpected happens. During this workshop there will be
interactive lectures, sharing of positive birth stories, viewing of
audio-visuals, birth art, role-playing and other activities to equip the expectant mother
and her partner for labor and birth. (Pre-requisite: BBW)
