All that is needed for the majority of labors to go well is a healthy, pregnant woman who has loving support in labor, self-confidence, and attendants with infinite patience.

BodyMind Birthing FAQ: Common Questions About Our Courses

  • Will this course help my anxiety?

    If you are feeling anxious about birth, had a previous difficult birth or just want to give yourself a confidence boost, then this course offers you tools to help you reframe fear or anxiety and ways you can soothe your nervous system so that it can work for you and not against you.

    However, if you have pre-existing anxiety issues, PTSD, sexual or childhood trauma, then it is highly recommended that you seek out other professional support throughout your pregnancy journey as well as this course.

  • Can I do this course alongside other antenatal courses?

    Yes, absolutely. This course works alongside more traditional antenatal courses such as NCT or Bump & Baby Club. We cover content that will not have been taught in other courses as well as content you may find there too.

    You can also take this course as a standalone training as the content is comprehensive. Because the course is modular, you can hook into the additional content as you need, or miss out parts you feel you have already covered.

  • When is it Best to Start?

    You can join the course from 14 weeks.

    Ideally you will have finished the course by 38 weeks, as sometimes babies come along before they are expected!

    This also gives you enough time to embed your BodyMind training.

  • I want my partner to learn with me

    You and your partner can work through the course content together at your own time at home.

    We also have an additional optional in person couples workshop you can do together where your partner can learn how best to support you during labour.

  • I am on a low wage

    We have payment plans to help you spread the cost, and a discounted price for anyone on a low wage or on benefits.

    Please contact us here if you would like more information about this.

  • Can I do more than one course

    Yes, you can do more than one course to help embed the knowledge further into your bodymind and feel the support of the teacher and your group as you prepare for birth.

    There is a £20 discount on further courses.
