Attending a childbirth preparation class is important for the couple so that you understand what to expect for the birth process but also what choices you have. When you understand your choices you can take part in decision making in a better way and feel more empowered during your birth. As a Doula who has been in many birth rooms I also have a deeper insight into the birth process that I share with you.
The classes are done in the comfort of your home. We cover the following and more:
Basics of birth (what happens during the birth process, signs of labour, stages of labour etc)
What to expect at home and in the hospital
When to go to the hospital
Coping techniques for labour
Birth choices (unmedicated birth, medicated birth options, types of births etc)
Partners role and support techniques
New baby care
Breastfeeding basics
The sessions are hands on and hopefully fun. Notes will be provided.
The classes need a total of 8 hours done during evenings or weekend.

Hi. My name is Laura Sayce. I am a Lactation Consultant (IBCLC), Childbirth educator (ICCE) as well as a Birth and Postpartum Doula (ICPD). I also have a BSc in Animal Sciences which sounds irrelevant but it has really helped me understand the natural side of birth and breastfeeding as well as parenting. I have worked in private practice supporting parents since 2008.
I started my journey with my pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding adventures of my first daughter. During pregnancy I did a lot of reading and fell in love with birth. My birth experience made me fall in love with it even more. My breastfeeding journey though was a massive challenge. I saw numerous people for help and support until I was referred to a lactation consultant who changed everything. Breastfeeding went from a daily (well two hourly) struggle to the most amazing thing I ever did. It left me wanting to help other moms find the same "amazing" in their breastfeeding journey.
I have 2 gorgeous daughters (Ok, I'm biased here I know but they truly are amazing). They have helped me experience motherhood and the practical side of parenting. So I guess you could say I have the "book smarts and the street smarts". My goal is to help other families through their parenting journey. I help families discover and explore their birthing options and once babe arrives I help with breastfeeding and general baby care. It's about finding what works for each individual family. And being there to support the Baby Journey.
