"The birth I desperately wanted"

About: Positive Birth Program

(as the patient),

We participated in the positive birth program via Zoom and had our bub a month after.

This was my second baby and I was looking to educate myself further and learn some techniques to help heal from my first semi traumatic birth. 

Our presenter was so knowledgeable and i felt very at ease participating. A wide range of topics were covered over the 4 days lightly touching on all things birth. The main focus being on coping techniques/breathing/affirmations which is what I was expecting/hoping to go through as these things aren’t heavily covered in birth classes through the antenatal clinic. 

It does require you to practice these techniques at home in order for them to help you on the big day. The book you receive and the app access has everything the course covered but in summary so you can go back and refresh anytime - very handy resource. Practice practice practice. 

When it came to the big day all the time and effort I had put into practice showed. I had the most incredible healing birth that exceeded my expectations and i truly believe it came down to the skills I had learnt from the positive birth program. 

I cannot thank the team involved with the WACHS positive birth program enough- these courses are not easy to put together so i really appreciate you all and will forever remember who helped me have the Birth I desperately wanted.
