for pregnancy, labour, birth and life with a new baby. Leading midwife and antenatal teacher of
over 30 years, Caroline Flint, will take you through a full set of antenatal classes and help you
answer questions such as: What can I expect in labour? What kind of birth environment do I
want? What is a “normal” pregnancy and birth? What sort of medical interventions might be
recommended and how can I decide what is right for me? With so much information out there,
how do I know who to listen to or what choices to make?
This two-disc DVD allows you to see real families grapple with questions, share their concerns
and hopes and prepare for the life change that is having a baby. You will learn about critical
topics such as breastfeeding, pain relief, birth positions, the birth environment, bonding with
your baby, making sense of the birth experience, life with a new baby and much more. It also
features a number of leading experts, as well as advice on complementary therapies including
osteopathy, acupuncture, birth hypnosis and the use of doulas.
Birthwise exposes women, their partners and families to a breadth of real birth experiences and
approaches in order to help women choose an approach to birth that is right for them. In the
comfort of your own home, Birthwise will inform you, inspire you and empower you to create
the birth that is right for you and your baby.
