Preparing for Labour part 1 e-book

Karen McEwen, Registered Midwife at My Expert Midwife helps you prepare for labour with our instantly accessible 30+page guide.

It can feel overwhelming when you are pregnant that there is so much information to get through in such a short space of time, this e-book will help support your learning. It is packed full of interesting and useful information, as well as handy tips to help you feel confident and prepared for your labour and birth.

In this e-book, find out about how to choose your antenatal education, how to make a birth plan personal to your own needs, as well as how to decide which choices are right for you during your maternity care. We will also cover what to pack in your hospital bag, how and when to start perineal massage, as well as explaining what to expect when labour starts spontaneously or via a planned induction. We think that this e-book is the perfect guide for you and your birth partner to begin preparing for your labour, birth and new arrival.
