Episode 1: Real Talk – What Birth Planning Really Means

Birth plans sometimes get a bad rap – but they’re not about scripting every moment or trying to control the uncontrollable. In this episode, we unpack what birth planning really is: a tool for confidence, communication, and feeling supported – no matter how your birth unfolds.

You’ll learn from a midwife, ex-teacher and a mum of 4 what to include, why flexibility is your best friend, and tips on how to start creating a plan that actually works for you.

Need help getting started? Need some advice on navigating your way through all the appointments? Need to access some short, no frills classes that speak to you and your birth support team so you can make truly informed choices? Need a debrief on your previous experiences so you can move along this journey without that extra weight?

I’ve got you!
