Top Tips for Labour

  • Knowledge is power - Educate yourself on the stages of labour. The more you understand what's happening, the calmer you'll feel. Talk to your midwife about pain relief options and different birthing positions.
  • Practice makes perfect - Sign up for antenatal classes to learn relaxation techniques and breathing exercises. Practicing these beforehand will make a big difference in labour.
  • Pack your must-haves - Prepare a hospital bag with comfy clothes, toiletries and items that make you feel relaxed, like a favourite playlist or aromatherapy oils. Don't forget essentials for your birth partner too!
  • Assemble your team - Having a good support network is key. Choose a birth partner who makes you feel calm and confident.
