Birth Doula services covering East Anglia: Cambridge/Cambridgeshire, St Ives, Huntingdon, Peterborough, parts of Suffolk, Essex and Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire.
Imagine.......... A place where everyone honours you and the work you will do in labour. Speaks quietly and moves slowly and gently. Respects your need to be spontaneous - to eat, drink, make sounds, move around, cry, shout, laugh. Treats you and your baby as fully conscious and sensitive beings. Giving birth is as intimate as lovemaking. You will need privacy and support and tenderness. Labour is not a spectator sport. Your partner is not your "coach". It's the journey of a lifetime for your baby and you. Don't settle for a typical birth. Find out more....... Safe alternatives to epidurals.......Seek out a midwife....arrange for a labour companion/doula to stay with you...Protect your baby and empower yourself! SUZANNE ARMS | ||
For approximately ninety minutes each week we practice gentle yoga postures to positively affect health and wellbeing during pregnancy. However, the yoga classes are not only for pregnancy, they are preparation for childbirth. We practice positions for labour, together with breathing exercises, visualization, and affirmations for birth, pelvic floor exercises and relaxation. We consider optimal foetal positioning (OFP) and lifestyle changes to encourage baby into a favourable position for birth.
The focus of the day is on preparation for an active labour and birth with information and practice to empower you in your choices. We will practice positions for labour, birthing positions and massage. Information is given on the stages of labour, possible interventions, pain relief options, breastfeeding and life after birth. There will be time to meet other couples over a relaxed lunch and relaxation at the end.
