O O O ☀️
School’s out for summer — and so are the Weston Home Birth Group Gang! (Do two people count as a gang? We say YES 😂)

The crew is officially off-duty until September 28th — but don’t worry, we’ll be back with all the birthy goodness, support, and bump laughs you love. 💛

So mark your calendars, sharpen your birthy pencils (that’s a thing, right?), and get ready to join us again soon.

Big hugs and summery vibes,
Holly & Luiza x

This February at the we will be discussing all things birth again!

Join us to talk about how all births can and do look different.

Not everyone that plans a home birth will end up birthing at home, and not everyone who plans a hospital birth will end up birthing in hospital!

As a matter of fact, not even everyone who is planning a caesarean birth will end up with a caesarean birth!!
One of our hosts can vouch for that!

This group is open for EVERYONE!
Whilst the focus is home birthing, every session is an opportunity to learn and meet other preggos in the area.

Join us this February 23rd and let’s talk about:

🏠Unplanned Home Births
🏡Planned Home Births
🏥Transferring to Hospital
🧑🏽‍⚕️Unplanned Caesarean Births
📊And much more!

We can’t wait to see you there!

Much love,

Luiza & Holly

As always we welcome anyone with an interest in Home Birth to join us - whether you're a local birth worker, a parent who had a homebirth and just loves any excuse to talk about it! Or if you're pregnant and looking for some information about birth and somewhere to hang out to talk all things positive birth with a cuppa and a biscuit.
