    In topic 2, we explore the 2nd and 3rd stages of labor, the birth of your baby, and placenta delivery options, with an ongoing update to your birth plan and a short film of a vaginal birth.

    We also discuss birth variations, including labor induction, different assisted delivery methods, and Caesarean sections, ending with a short film on two women's CS experiences.

  • This session covers immediate post-delivery care, emphasising the benefits of skin-to-skin contact for parents and baby.

    We focus on breastfeeding, including what to expect, changes in milk supply, signs of sufficient feeding, and common issues. A short film on breastfeeding positions and baby’s feeding cues, along with a doll practice session, is included. We also discuss returning to work, formula feeding, and equipment sterilisation.

    Our final topic explores newborn care, safe sleeping, and available support. We cover immunisations and routine checks from birth to 18+ months.
