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.

In an effort to slow the spread of COVID-19, most hospitals have now put in place restrictions to limit birth partners to 1 or 2 healthy people only.

What does this mean if you want your partner and a doula? What does this mean if you now don’t have childcare for your other children? What if your partner gets a cough?

There are many parallels between going for a poo and giving birth.. this post could totally change the way your approach everything!
