No one can quite prepare you for the feeling of finding out that you are pregnant, but what we definitely can prepare you for is your pregnancy journey, the experience of giving birth, and those precious early weeks with your new baby.
In this series of videos, we will take you through what to expect from each stage and give you tips and useful tools to manage symptoms and situations. We will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to approach birth without fear and to help you navigate the first few weeks as a new parent.
We will also guide you though the physical and hormonal changes happening in your body during and after pregnancy. The course content has been compiled by our team of medical experts and maternity physiotherapists to provide you with all the expert clinical knowledge you need to feel empowered as you approach childbirth and the postpartum months.
The content is presented to you by our expert midwife partner Marie in a warm, passionate and easy to understand format. Enjoy the videos, and we wish you all the very best with your pregnancy journey.
