As the partner or birth partner, how did your feelings about birth and your role as a support person change after completing the Positive Birth Program?
We both went from feeling anxious and like we had no road map to being as clear as possible on the process and our roles. After, I felt like I could make informed decisions about the birth.
One piece of advice you would give to another couple preparing for their own Positive Birth experience:
Talk to your birthing partner regularly about your goals and needs so they can be as prepared and supportive as possible.
Any other kind words you would be happy to share about your experience attending the Positive Birth Program course with Hello Birth Co:
Jess completely changed our whole experience. We were able to make confident and informed decisions about our birth which made for a beautiful birth and I am actually looking forward to doing it again.
