Birth and Baby Workshops
Hosted by Christel Gibbs
The workshops are given in English by Wendy Pagler, a qualified birth educator.
They run over one weekend from 10.00 to 17.00 on Saturday and Sunday.
During the week following the course the group also meets for an evening visit to the hospital maternity unit.
On the Wednesday prior to the workshop, there will be a practical skills evening led by Christel Gibbs, a qualified pregnancy yoga teacher, as part of the course.
This is a course primarily designed for couples. However if you either do not have a partner, or if your partner is unable to attend, you are very welcome to come alone or with another support person.
The aims of the course are to:
- enhance your understanding of the process of birth by looking at the way birth is designed to work, what happens during labour and how it might feel
- enable you to explore ways to help yourselves during labour using both non-medical and medical pain relief, support each other and work as a team with your medical carers
- increase your confidence to make your own choices for labour and baby care
- prepare you for the particular challenges of early parenting
- provide you with a good opportunity to meet and make friends with other expectant parents
The venue is at the Gibbs' home in Madla and Christel provides running refreshments on both days.
