The tools you need for the birth you want!
Together in Birth - our antenatal childbirth preparation brings you and your partner on a transformative journey of childbirth education guided by experienced Birth Doulas, Childbirth Educators, Movement Educators, and Prenatal Yoga Teachers. Our innovative childbirth education program blends the richness of traditional in-person classes with the accessibility and flexibility of self-paced e-learning and livestream engagement, creating an intimate and supportive learning experience that meets you where you are. to help you navigate the journey of pregnancy, labour and childbirth with the knowledge and tools you’ll likely need.
Guided by our three core pillars of phsyiology, movement and psyche, our self-paced e-learning modules addresses the diverse needs and preferences of expectant families, whether you are a first time or subsequent time parent. Parents will be able to track their progress through the interactive platform, and interact with fellow course mates on our community boards.
Each module will consist of lectures, illustrative slides, instructional videos as well as quizzes to help you navigate this journey with ease. We also have supplemental handouts on evidence-based birth practices, such as on inductions, gestatational diabetes, labouring and birthing positions, to name a few. With this flexibility to learn at your own pace and convenience, you’d be able to engage with the material whenever and wherever it suits you, ensuring accessibility for individuals with busy schedules and geographical constraints. More details are provided below.
Anchoring this course is Singapore’s only in-person Spinning Babies® Birth Preparation Class taught by Spinning Babies®Certified Parent Educator, Dewi Chen. Spinning Babies® is an internationally respected approach founded by Gail Tully. Learn the partner-assisted movements, positions and exercises to help bring comfort in pregnancy, unhinder labour and more ease in birth. This will be followed by a in-person class on Comfort Measures 101 where you’ll learn evidence-based practices to help find ease in labour and pushing. The class duration is 3 hours in total, and you are advised to complete e-modules 1 & 2 before attending the next scheduled in-person session.
To support your learning throughout the programme, there will be two live-engagement via Zoom online. These live sessions are for us to check-in with participants, clarify any queries about the modules and in-person classes. In these calls we will also have with interactive role-playing exercises, and group discussions that encourage advocacy, collaboration, and foster mutual support among participants.
