Thinking of those who lost a baby or child too soon.

International Bereaved Mother's Day is Sunday May 3rd.
A special day to honour and celebrate mums who hold their child/children in their hearts rather than their arms.

To every mother missing their baby today, we see you and we honour your love.

We just love this photo (shared with permission of course) of these women with one of the community midwives!
They just finished a group antenatal appointment about labour and birth. Hope they choose to birth at the birthing centre 😍

April is , a time to raise awareness and educate people about cesareans. This awareness campaign supports a reduction in the number of cesareans in mothers who will not benefit from this procedure when compared to vaginal birth.

Preparing for labour and birth is so incredibly important. Visualization of how to cope with the contractions is one way. You spend most of your labour not having a contraction, but we focus on the contractions and not the breaks between. Bethlehem Birthing Centre
