• To have a calm, relaxed birth it’s crucial to
think about who will be there - sacred and
intimate space.
• If you wouldn’t have an orgasm in front of
that person, they shouldn’t be there

• Also consider who is in the waiting room
and the pressure it adds – would you want
your whole family in living room waiting for
you to have sex?

• Having too many people around –
especially people you know - can slow or
delay labour.

• Constant texts and questions from the
first contraction asking, “Any news?” – the
pressure is unreal.

• Logistically you also want to prepare for
what you want – things to eat during, any
equipment you need.

• Any fears or worries here – ironing out
logistics before you go can help to relax
you ahead of birth.
• We will create preferences, so all of your
wishes are clear and communicated to
your care team.
