09.01.2022 Conducting a virtual childbirth class, even for an experienced educator, is not as simple as doing exactly what you do in class, just in front of your phone or laptop.

09.01.2022 The whole issue of expecting the unexpected is an essential topic for pre-natal programs. Encouraging and supporting the uncertainty of birth helps parents realise that anything can happen and experience suggests that there will be aspects of every birth that result in disappointment and perhaps grief. Ignoring or discouraging discussion around these topics may also have unexpected outcomes for the educator: the group may feel that an unrealistic picture is being painted; an unwillingness to get involved may be interpreted as a lack of empathy or care; and the educators personal discomforts may create an unintended barrier with the group.
