Thinking about Home Birth or Water Birth?
The National Childbirth Trust supports parents in their choice of place of birth and we also know that planning an ideal birth can be confusing. Research has shown that having your baby at home is as safe as hospital, if not
safer.
Many women also find that their labour is more relaxed and birth is easier and less painful at home. If you feel that you would like to have your baby at home or would like further
information on
home birth, then please contact us by email at homebirth@nctlincoln.org.uk
Want to know more about Caesareans or Birth After Caesarean (VBAC)?
There are many reasons for considering a Caesarean, and it isn’t always and emergency. The NCT understand that many women may want to explore their options and talk
through their often mixed feelings when a Caesarean is suggested.
Also, many women who have had a Casearean have feelings they would like to share
and questions they want to ask.
You can also talk to mums who have had home births after caesareans, mums whose
babies made such a rapid entrance that the professionals missed it, mums who
planned a hospital birth and mums who planned caesareans.
Of course one of the best ways to get support, or to share your experiences with
others is by
meeting other parents. Through the NCT in Lincoln you can join antenatal classes, postnatal courses and
access support with feeding through our team of trained specialist workers.
At our many social events you can share ideas, meet other parents, play in a
child friendly environment or enjoy a
coffee and a chat.
