FAQ

Do I need Childbirth Education?

Research teaches us that parents who receive childbirth education are more likely to have a normal vaginal birth, less likely to use pain relief during labour, and less likely to be induced, and have shorter labours. Parents have increased birth satisfaction, are more likely to have breastfeeding success, have better communication with their care providers, and have a more positive outlook on their whole birth experience. The My Baby Adores Childbirth Course prepares you to approach labour and birth confidently, enabling you to make informed decisions and equipped with resources for a happier, healthier, and easier journey into parenthood.
