Caesarean Preparation Class

Preparing for a caesarean birth, whether planned or something you're keeping in mind as a possibility, deserves its own dedicated space. This class gives you the understanding and confidence to feel prepared for a caesarean birth and the weeks that follow, delivered by a Registered Midwife, IBCLC and Caesarean Scar Specialist.

Why a dedicated caesarean class

Caesarean birth is common, but general antenatal preparation doesn't always give it the depth it deserves. I worked as the midwife in theatre for elective caesarean sections, as well as on the postnatal ward, so I've supported this exact journey from both sides, the operating theatre and the recovery that follows. As an IBCLC, I can also give you proper, evidence based preparation for feeding after a caesarean specifically, not just general breastfeeding advice. As a Caesarean Scar Specialist trained with Restore Scar Therapy, I bring that same depth to helping you prepare and recover.

My approach is evidence based, realistic and non judgemental. Whether your caesarean is planned or something you're preparing for as one possible outcome, this class is here to help you feel informed and ready, not anxious about the unknown.
