Education

We discuss your choice of care provider, the environment and what you really think about birth. Facilitated by our experienced Midwives, this online session lasts around 2 hours with plenty of opportunity for discussion and online Q & A.

For women having care with My Midwives this session ensures you are ready for a care plan discussion with your midwife. Those who are our guests having care with other provides will develop more ideas about what they need to discuss with their doctor or midwife.

We invite couples to do this class late in pregnancy (after 34 weeks) to ensure all aspects are front of mind when baby arrives. The class covers all the basics: nappies, cord care, bathing, dressing, swaddling and feeding and reviews the decisions you make in the transition to parenting.

My Midwives clients will get the hands on aspects of newborn care whilst our guests may also gain further insight and clarity around the decisions you need to make in the first hours and weeks.

Our experienced educators will take around 2 hours (depending on group size) and have significant time to cover questions and answers.

This class focus on the many aspects that make up labour and birth, including activities to ensure you and your partner are well prepared. We cover more fully labour progress and self help measures with a workbook which accompanies the classes to guide you through the session.

With this session My Midwives clients progress in their practice and preparation for birth and enables our guests to gain a fuller understanding of what they will experience in labour and birth.

Our virtual class finishes with a couple returning soon after the birth of their baby to talk through the reality of the birth journey.

The reality of this class being online means that session lengths will vary and breaks will be advised on request of the group. It is envisaged that participants will need to free themselves up from 9-12 and from 1-3 to fully participate.

Our virtual workshop, Moving into Motherhood, explores how different cultures celebrate the postpartum period and how we can embrace some of these ways to ensure we are nurturing our body, mind and souls in the early days after birth. We brainstorm ways to create your 'village' and discuss the importance of celebrating motherhood.

It is due to the constant commitment and support of the amazing Dr Robyn Thompson and her team that we are enabling My Midwives clients access to her online support program, The Thompson Method Breastfeeding Program (Pregnancy, Labour, Birth & Breastfeeding) and membership to the private support Facebook Group 'The Breastfeeding Club'. The Thompson method has been a game changer in the lives of the My Midwives team and we are proud to formalise this partnership to truly benefit women and their families. All our classes clients will receive this automatically and our amazing team will provide an online orientation session to walk you through what is on offer to you all. 1 hour.
