Forum

As you plan for the birth of your baby, how do you go about achieving a beautiful birth?

For the very first time, the Beautiful Birth Festival will feature a forum with an extensive panel of experts and consumers to discuss the topic: ACHIEVING A BEAUTIFUL BIRTH.

This informative discussion will take you on a journey from pregnancy to the postnatal period as we explore:

Choosing a model of care and making it work for you
What you should expect from your care providers
The role and benefits of a support person
How you can influence your experience and the outcome of your birth
Your rights!
Asking questions and planning for the birth you want for you and your baby
The pros and cons of birth interventions (induction, epidural, caesarean)
Common elements that lead up to and are found at a beautiful birth
Planning for optimal care and support for the postnatal period

Don't miss this incredible opportunity to hear our extensive and diverse line up of industry recognised experts, all in one room, with the goal of helping you to realise and achieve the best birth possible for you and your baby.
