If you are considering a home birth, or have already made this decision and are looking for professional, respectful and safe support – this consultation is for you. It matters to us that the preparation is not only practical but also strengthens your confidence in your body and the birth process.
During the consultation we take the time to hear your expectations and any previous birth experiences, and we discuss your fears and hopes. We talk in detail about the course of a home birth, safety criteria, backup plans, the team’s roles, and the involvement of loved ones.
We discuss the practical aspects of preparation: the supplies you’ll need, preparing your environment, creating comfort, pain-management techniques, the physiology of birth, and the partner’s role. We also talk about the first hours after birth, newborn care, and the postpartum period.
Depending on the situation, we recommend physical exercises, emotional preparation practices, information sources, or additional specialist consultations.
During this consultation you will be seen by two midwives from the UNDA team
