Antenatal, birth and parenthood preparation course

Discover packing the hospital bag as part of antenatal and birth preparation, ensuring you have essentials for labor, delivery, and early parenthood.

Explore the uterus, cervix, mucus plug, and birth canal, and learn how hormones influence labor and the role of one-to-one midwife support in a natural birth.

Explore how a baby’s position in the womb affects labor, how midwives assess position during antenatal visits, and practical tips to encourage an anterior, head-down posture.

Manage active labor (4–8 cm) by riding regular contractions every 2–3 minutes lasting up to a minute, using breathing, movement, water, and support to progress toward full dilation.

Navigate the transition from 8–10 cm by staying calm and focusing on the baby. In the second stage, follow your body's urge to push with breathing in a supportive atmosphere.
