Labour & giving birth 

From understanding if you'll be able to have your birth partner with you, to the latest guidance on home births, we’ve got lots of information to help you stay informed, to help ensure your experience of labour and birth is a positive one.

Spending time at home as you wait for the early signs of labour gives you plenty of time for any last minute preparations, like talking your partner through what you’ve packed in your hospital bag. Why not use it to practice some breathing techniques for labour, get a clear understanding of your pain relief options and learn all about breastfeeding for the first time.
