Plan a healthy and safe birth

Your body has sheltered and nurtured your growing baby naturally for the past 9 months. Birth happens this way too.

The challenge is to develop confidence in yourself, trust your inner wisdom, and allow nature to do its thing.

We hear a lot about the pain of labour and birth, which can be scary. However, there are ways for you to make your birth as safe and healthy as possible giving you the confidence to know that you have the ability and power to birth your baby.

The Lamaze Healthy Birth Practices (external link) are designed from years of research to help simplify your birth process with an informed approach that helps alleviate your fears and manage pain. Regardless of your baby’s size, your labour’s length and complexity, or your confidence level, these care practices will help keep labour and your baby's birth as safe and healthy as possible.
