Preparing for birth with Birth Rocks
You wouldn’t turn up at a marathon without training, so why would you turn up at birth without training? Nobody has to ‘teach’ you how to give birth, baby would come out if nobody was there. But we do need to prepare ourselves mentally and physically, by getting to know and understand ourselves, so that we can create the optimal circumstances for our individual birth.
