Positive Caesarean Workshop

Typically commence in week 37 of pregnancy.
One 2 hour workshop - with up to 6 expectant mothers and, if desired, your partners - facilitated by a childbirth educator.

Learn how to turn your surgical birth into a positive birthing experience for you, your birthing companion and your baby. Great for mothers and partners seeking a calmer and more ‘gentle’ caesarean birthing experience.

  • Learn how you can still plan a calm and gentle birth within the theatre environment bonding quickly with skin to skin contact with your baby following surgery.
  • Plan the immediate care of your baby and the opportunity to breastfeed as soon as possible before leaving recovery.
  • Pain relief is discussed, the ongoing recovery from a caesarean, positioning in bed, exercising, wound care and recovery at home.
