A 90-minute tailored session for women and their birth partners, offering a refined and comprehensive approach to birth preparation. This consultation provides practical insights and evidence-based guidance to help you approach your birth with calm, confidence and clarity. Led by Endorsed Midwife, Tahlia Darvas, expect to gain knowledge and confidence in:

1. Understanding Labour & Birth
Gain a clear understanding of the stages of labour. We will discuss how to recognise early signs, what to expect as labour progresses, and when to contact your care team. Whether your birth is spontaneous or involves medical support, you will leave with a grounded understanding of the process.

2. Partner Support & Involvement
The birth partner plays an essential role in enhancing the birth experience. We will explore practical techniques to provide emotional and physical support to effective comfort measures, ensuring both of you feel prepared and connected.

3. Pain Relief & Comfort Strategies
An informed approach to pain management is key. We will discuss a range of options, including natural coping techniques and medical pain relief. This balanced overview empowers you to make choices that align with your values and preferences.

4. Optimising the Birth Environment
Create a supportive and calming birth environment within the hospital setting. Learn how to personalise your space, engage confidently with your care team, and navigate medical interventions while maintaining a sense of clarity and intuition.

5. The First Hours After Birth
The immediate postpartum period is a time of intimate connection and gentle transition. We will discuss what to expect in the first hours, including skin-to-skin contact, early feeding cues, and supporting a smooth transition for you and your baby.

6. Clarifying Birth Preferences
Together, we will outline your birth wishes in a clear and flexible guide. This process encourages thoughtful decision-making while allowing space for the natural unfolding of your birth experience.

Each consultation is delivered with professionalism, warmth, and a commitment to providing a personalised and informative experience.

More than just preparation - this consultation empowers you to step into your birth experience feeling calm, informed and deeply supported.
