Learn about the different stages of labor, pain management techniques, and the various birthing service options available to you. The more informed you are, the more confident you will feel. 2. Create a Calming Birth Environment: Surround yourself with positivity and tranquility. Create a soothing space in your home where you can relax and practice techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or gentle yoga. Consider incorporating soft lighting, music, and natural elements to enhance the ambiance and get your oxytocin flowing. 3. Communicate Your Birth Preferences: Take the time to discuss your birth preferences with your healthcare provider and birth support team. Share your desires, concerns, and any specific requests you may have. Open and honest communication will help ensure that your wishes are respected and honored during labour and birth. 4. Build a Support Network: Surround yourself with people who uplift and encourage you. Seek out other expectant parents who share your values and goals. Attend our group sessions to connect with like-minded parents who can provide emotional support and share their own experiences. Join "The Village" to have ongoing community support after the class. 5. Practice Self-Care: Prioritize self-care throughout your pregnancy. Nurture your body and mind by eating well, staying active, and getting plenty of rest. Engage in activities that bring you joy and help you relax. Remember, a healthy and happy mum is better equipped to handle the challenges of labour. Preparing for a positive birth experience is a journey in itself.
