Active Birth Workshop
Date: Sunday, May 13th
Time: 11am - 2pm
Cost: €70
This workshop is led by Jan Duffy. It is aimed at women in the last trimester of pregnancy. Their birth partners would also greatly benefit from the workshop and are encouraged to attend for no extra cost.
Over the course of the three hours, we hope to give you a better understanding of what to expect during labour and birth and how you can help yourself to cope. The idea is to empower you to give birth as easily and naturally as possible.
Some of the topics covered include:
-
the stages of labour and what you can do to help yourself cope with each
-
breathwork and positions for an easier labour and birth
-
hormones and how they affect the process of labour and birth
-
the anatomy of the pelvis and why certain birthing positions create up to 25% more space through the pelvis
-
induction and what you can do if you're overdue
-
options for pain relief - what's available to you, the pros, the cons and the details
The birth partner can play a crucial role in an Active Birth, so their presence at the workshop is greatly encouraged at this workshop. However a birth partner is not essential at the workshop, so if you have to come alone, don't be put off. Also remember your birth partner may not necessarily be the father, it could be your mother, sister or friend.
The workshop includes some gentle yoga, guided relaxation and a tea-break. For more information, contact Jan on 086-8395732.
