What Is The Real Birth Programme All About
We created The Real Birth Programme because we believe that all expectant parents should have access to positive birth information. It is beneficial for pregnant mums and their birth partners to have positive help with their birth preparation. We support all birthing choices because we believe in empowering you with the right information when you need it.
Birth preparation is really important. It should help you feel confident in your abilities and the decisions that you make about your labour and birth. We have trained each of our birth professionals so that they can provide you with this fun, informative antenatal class. They will talk you through your options and help with your birth preparation and birth plan.

Antenatal class
The Real Birth Programme is a birth preparation antenatal class. This antenatal class will help you understand what happens during in labour and birth. You may be planning to give birth at home, in a birth centre or to have a hospital birth. Your antenatal care may be from your midwife, an obstetrician or even both. Whatever your care or birth preferences are your body is designed for this.
We help you understand your birthing body, where the discomfort or pain comes from and why it may be there. When you understand the body and the systems that work together, it will help you prepare for your birth. It will also help your birth partner, as we teach them techniques to support you, giving you both a tool kit!
Wherever you decide to give birth, the information you will get from our course will help you to plan and work with your body and will help you feel more comfortable during birth.

Giving birth in hospital is a relatively recent option for women and people in the UK. Even as recently as the 1970s many women still gave birth outside of hospital.
We will take you on a step by step journey of how our bodies birth our babies. There are amazing physical, hormonal, and emotional processes our bodies work through during labour and birth.
Our aim is to help you to understand more about the physiology behind birth and labour. Learning how competent and incredible your body is can help you feel confident and relaxed through the stages of birth. We will teach practical skills for you and your birth partner so they feel comfortable in their role. These can be used during late pregnancy, labour and birth to help you feel calm and in control.
The information we use is taken from evidence-based practice and has been written to promote a positive and holistic approach to your birth.
