Episode 5 - Using a safety word to ensure a positive birth experience.

In this episode I wanted to share a top tip with you that I use with my birth clients. I like to recommend that a pregnant woman chooses a safety word as part of her birth plan. This will help you as her birth partner to offer completely unbiased support. When a safety word is agreed upon, she can then feel free to vocalise as much as she wants and will know that no matter how much she doubts her ability to give birth, you will always keep encouraging her in the way you discuss in the antenatal period. For a more in-depth look on the use of a Safety Word, please buy a copy of the book that accompanies this podcast - click here:- Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner — https://amzn.to/35euaZrAnyone who purchases the book also has access to a set of FREE downloads which includes:- Birth planning questions Visit my website - www.birthability.co.ukFollow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpartner @birthabilityIf you would like to buy a copy of either of the books that accompany this podcast please go to your online bookseller or visit Amazon:-Labour of Love - The Ultimate Guide to Being a Birth Partner - click here:-https://bit.ly/LabourofloveThe Art of Giving Birth - Five Key Physiological Principles - https://amzn.to/3EGh9dfPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth' - Black and White version https://amzn.to/3CvJXmOPregnancy Journal for 'The Art of Giving Birth'- Colour version https://amzn.to/3GknbPFYou can find all my classes and courses on my website - www.sallyannberesford.co.uk Follow me on Instagram @theultimatebirthpartner Book a 1-2-1 session with Sallyann - https://linktr.ee/SallyannBeresford Please remember that the information shared with you in this episode is solely based on my own personal experiences as a doula and the private opinions of my guests, based on their own experiences.
