Rediscovering Birth

Rediscovering Birth
We know that BIRTH MATTERS …
and how we feel about our births is  IMPORTANT

We are a Toowoomba Based support and education group,
run by a registered Midwife & Mums.

We offer a level of information and support we believe is
vital to all birthing women, mothers and fathers
 - whether you are:

Expecting your first child
Need to process a previous birth experience 
Or are planning a better subsequent birth.

Why does Birth matter so much?
 
Why is it important?

Because birth can be one of the most amazing, fulfilling and exciting life experiences we can have, and because, we don't just leave our feelings about our birth at the hospital.

The feelings we bring home about the birth can affect our experience of parenting our new babies.

If we bring home feelings of confidence, joy, and strength, our instinctive bonding is promoted with our gorgeous little ones. Our confidence in all aspects of life can soar and   we can connect at a new level with our partners.

If we are bringing home feelings of fear, isolation and confusion, bonding with our    beautiful babies can be difficult, and feelings of failure can result.  

Our confidence can plummet, and relationships with partners can suffer.   These feelings can infiltrate all areas of our lives as a new family.

You might have feelings of emptiness… a feeling that there was something missing from the birth.  You might feel a lack of confidence with your mothering instincts.

You might have feelings of failure, which can impact upon your general confidence in life.
You might feel so traumatised by the birth that you cannot fully express your love for your baby.

But it does not always have to be this way.
 
How can Rediscovering Birth help?

Initially, many women & men find it helpful to:
- Talk to people who know that BIRTH MATTERS & receive validation for how      
 they are feeling
- Hear other families experiences & realize   they ARE NOT ALONE
- Realize that birth CAN be different, it is SUPPOSED to be different, and there are   valid reasons for their confusion, sadness and behaviour.

Rediscovering Birth offers understanding and validation from women and men, who know that our Birth experience matters.

We offer the following meeting  types :                                              

Birth Pathways: an antenatal course for women and couples designed to celebrate birth, & increase your chances of walking away from ANY birth with feelings of positivity, confidence and strength. 

Healing Hearts: a support group for women  & couples gaining understanding and working through a difficult, disappointing or traumatic birth experience (or postnatal period).  Rediscovering Birth offers understanding & validation, ideas for processing your experience, and ways to make it different the next time.

Why Birth Matters: Come & find out what most    people - including many Health Professionals - don¹t know about birth and the role it plays in preparing us for parenthood. Knowing "Why Birth Matters" could change your experience of your future family life

Making peace with your birth: It IS possible to make peace with your birth, and gain  clarity about your  experience. You don't always have to feel that emptiness, or such an intensity of emotions, about "what happened"  when your little one arrived.
