Our Classic Course, Planned Caesarean Course and VBAC Workshop are based on physiology, informed decision-making, best available evidence and up-to-date research and include to give you confidence in your birth journey.

Most babies will breastfeed within an hour of being born so the best time to learn about breastfeeding is during pregnancy.

Our lactation consultants can support you, provide up-to-date and evidence-based information, teach you skills, and give you the motivation you need for a positive and successful breastfeeding experience.

Your baby is ready and so are you.

Your team of MAMA midwives will care for you through labour and birth, guiding you and your partner through this incredible transition to parenthood, whatever should unfold. Should your birth unfold in a different manner to what you expected, the MAMA midwives will remain by your side to continue to support and advocate for you and your baby to have an empowering experience.

Your MAMA midwives continue your holistic care for you and your new baby with:

• Regular home visits in the first week

• Weekly clinic appointments for six weeks

• Women’s health physio appointment

• Final midwifery appointment (the six week check) where we reflect on our journey together and find ways to continue to see each other beyond the postnatal care

Birth is transformative. Whatever your experience, having a safe space to talk about the life changing experience is important.

At MAMA we have qualified birth counsellors who can help you explore and unpack the enormous physical, mental and emotional journey to understand, process and integrate your birth experience.
