Confident VBAC Workshops

I'm so pleased to announce that as of June, I will be offering monthly VBAC workshops in the Southampton area.  With caesareans accounting for around 25% of all births in the UK, there is an ever increasing need for Vaginal Birth After Caesarean education.  It is an area not talked about that often and there is a lot of confusion about what is best for mother and baby when it comes to opting for a VBAC or a repeat c section.  The Little Hearts VBAC workshop is designed to help women to birth confidently and on their terms.  Whether you are choosing to have a VBAC, a repeat elective caesarean or are still undecided, this workshop gives you evidence based information and tips and techniques to help you come to an informed and confident decision as to what is best for you and your baby.  You will leave this course feeling prepared for your positive birth experience and knowing how you can work with your care providers to feel empowered and involved in every decision.  VBAC workshops are held over 2 weekday evenings in Bitterne Park.  Included in the course-

• VBAC guidelines (how they are made and how we can understand them better)
• Your birth rights
• Uterine Rupture (how likely is it and what are the implications)
• How our fear based culture affects labour and birth
• Mindset 
• How the muscles and hormones work in labour
• Induction 
• Caesarean options (gentle caesareans, woman centred caesareans etc.)
• Special Circumstances
• Birth Plans and place of birth
• Relaxation techniques

***The next VBAC workshop will be held on Thursday 22nd and 29th June- 7pm- 9.30pm in Bitterne Park.  £65 per couple***
