Prepare to birth your baby! You are welcome to come alone or bring a support person to this class. Bump to Baby is taught by a Physiotherapist and an assistant. There is an external clothed pelvic floor assessment (if consented to), a movement component, and lots of education. It is designed to empower you to find your inner strength and to train for a vaginal birth. If you are planning for a Cesarean birth, please contact our admin team as there is a more appropriate class we have for you. The focus is on the biomechanics of birth and pelvic floor considerations.
