The Use of Water in Childbirth - a Practical Workshop

Skelmersdale, Lancashire

£29.50 or £27.00 for student midwives

"Sort out the Misconceptions & Gain Confidence in the use of water around childbirth, including waterbirth.
A highly experienced midwife runs the workshop and a birthing pool is always used for clinical demonstration.
Hundreds of midwives and mothers & their partners have benefited from our very practical approach.
Rather than dealing with the use of water from an academic standpoint, we offer ‘hands on’ sessions with practical ‘down to earth’ advice.

We try to address both clinical and practical questions from both midwives and mothers and their partners.
During the day there is usually a discreet opportunity to try out a filled birth pool. We use a ‘model’ in the pool to simulate labour and birth positions.
Within the day there are also separate group sessions for Midwives and Mothers.
Through this tried and tested approach we find that mothers and midwives are able to see things from both sides."
