“The New Life antenatal class was invaluable! Knowledge is power, and especially so during labour: knowing what to expect — from the normal to the potential surprises — helped us feel much more in control and at ease throughout.
Being able to call on the reserves of those lessons on nappy changing, baby-gro sleeves (there’s a trick to it!), feeding cues, etc. during the bleary-eyed early days after birth helped us feel much more equipped for parenthood.
Our course leaders presented the facts and options in a judgement-free environment, and we’ve met some friends who continue to be a support as our baby grows. Thanks (for everything!).”

It's so important to educate yourself, and understand your rights as you're looked after during your pregnancy, labour, birth and beyond. Whether it's a routine check or a major procedure, YOU decide what happens to your body. 💪💜
In our latest blog, we dive into the importance of informed consent and how healthcare providers must give you clear, unbiased information so you can make the best decisions for yourself and your baby. 📋✨
Key points to remember:
🤝 Your choice matters! Always ask questions and ensure you understand the options.
🚨 You can withdraw consent at any time. It's YOUR body, YOUR baby, YOUR decision.
💕 Even your birth partner can’t make decisions for you, but they can help advocate for your preferences.
👶Post-birth, both parents may share in decisions for your baby, but until then, it’s the pregnant person's choice.
Check out the full post and empower yourself with knowledge. 🔗 [Link in bio]
