Hello everyone,
I have just started a positive birth group in Kensington and Chelsea and our first meet up is at the Beaufort House,Chelsea on the 26th July from 2-4 pm. Entry is free, Beaufort House is providing Tea and Coffee at a discounted rate of £ 2 a cup.
However, Water, baby food and snacks are permitted.
Our Guest Speaker is Lindsay Cousins from neighbourhood midwives and she will be sharing her birth knowledge on the day.
So what is a Positive Birth Group i hear you ask?
It is a place where you can share and listen to POSITIVE pregnancy, BIRTH and BABY stories. It is a place for all pregnant women regardless of their background, experience or choices to come together and share experiences about childbirth.
Any women with an interest : mums to be, new mums, birth and baby workers such as doulas, educators, midwives , doctors , babies are all welcome.
This group aims to be a helpful part of your pregnancy; a warm and welcoming place to consider what you really want for your childbirth experience and to challenge any fears or negative expectations you might have.
Finally a positive birth does not have to be "natural" or "drug free". As long as it comes from a place of positivity as opposed to fear, then you have a positive birth.
If you would like to attend our meet up please email [email protected] and let's celebrate birth!
Gisele.
