Roots of Birth is our foundational birth and postpartum preparation course, designed specifically for first time parents and taught by two experienced birth and postpartum doulas who have seen it all!
Unlike traditional prenatal education that could be compared to a textbook, we will act as your tour guides as you prepare for the arrival of your little one(s), diving into topics that are less discussed by mainstream media and sharing insider tips for your specific birth location.
Weekly Topics:
Week 1 = The science of labour and stages of labour; What to expect from natural childbirth
Week 2 = Medical technologies of birth (including induction of labour, pain management, monitoring, and risk management); Birth planning and advocacy
Week 3 = Medical technologies of birth (including Cesarean, assisted delivery, and emergency situations); Mental preparation for birth by breaking the Fear / Tension / Pain cycle
Week 4 = Hands on practice with comfort tools for labour and positions; Counter pressure practice; Pushing positions
Week 5 = Newborn procedures immediately post birth; Postpartum healing; The first days with a newborn
Week 6 = What to expect from your newborn; Infant sleep; Infant feeding, including breastfeeding / body feeding, pumping, formula feeding, bottles, and combinations feeding; Hands on practice with diaper changes, swaddling, and burping
