Planned Caesarean Birth Preparation

A personalised online course designed to help you understand what to expect before, during and after your caesarean birth, so you can approach the day feeling informed, calm and confident.

Many parents preparing for a planned caesarean tell me they feel unsure about what the day will actually look like.

Who will be in theatre?
Can my partner stay with me?
Will I see my baby straight away?
What happens during recovery?
How do I care for myself once I'm home?

This course walks you through the entire journey, helping you understand your options, prepare for recovery, support feeding, and feel more involved in your birth experience.

This course is for you if:

  • You're planning a caesarean birth

  • A caesarean has been recommended and you're weighing up your options

  • You've had a previous caesarean and want to know what might be different this time

  • You want your partner or support person to feel prepared

  • You'd like to understand recovery before your baby arrives

  • You want realistic, practical information rather than searching the internet at 2am

What Makes This Course Different

Unlike general antenatal classes that briefly cover caesarean birth, this course focuses entirely on your experience.

Because it’s private and personalised, we can explore:

  • your specific situation

  • your birth preferences

  • recovery planning for your home environment

  • practical ways your partner can support you

What’s Included

  • Three 90-minute live online sessions
    Learn at your pace with space for your questions - no rushed or generic info. These tailored sessions give you the confidence to approach your caesarean with clarity.

  • Your Planned Caesarean Birth Digital Workbook (20+ pages)
    Beyond information, this workbook is a companion you can personalise - designed to help you reflect, organise and feel confident about your choices and your day.

  • Personal support between sessions
    Questions that come up after class are common - you won’t be left wondering. You can reach out between sessions so you’re always moving forward with clarity and reassurance.

“This course walked us through everything we needed to know about our planned c-section. We felt calm, informed and supported every step of the way.”
