Meet other expectant parents in Dorking, prepare for birth and get access to a range of expert online modules to support your first year with your new baby.
A dedicated short course that combines an In Person Class with Online Modules to prepare you for birth and life with a baby once again.​​
As you prepare for the birth of your second (or more) baby you’ll no doubt be reflecting on your previous birth experience. I have supported lots of second (and some third) time mum's and they will almost always have lost trust in their ability to give birth and have a strong desire to avoid unnecessary intervention. That’s why it is so rewarding to hear these sorts of birth stories from them afterwards:
“I honestly strongly believe this led to giving me my most positive, strongest, most amazing and beautiful labour and birth I have had. It meant baby number 3 was my dream birth and the breathing I learnt helped so much in my labour I honestly went to another place and zoned out.” Kayleigh, after the birth of her third baby.
“No intervention or examinations and a lot quicker than my first! 4.5 hours from first contraction, and remained standing throughout with a couple of paracetamol…I think the best take away from your course, is that it instilled confidence that you are capable and so is your body, and that the choices are yours to make and in both my experiences the SASH team were very supportive of that." Justine, after the birth of her second baby.
After this course you and your birth partner will leave feeling much more confident about how to put yourself in the best position possible for a positive birth experience.
