Positive Birth Movement – York – North Yorkshire.
Facilitated by Melody Robinson, Michaela Scott & Susan Bradley
Welcome to the Positive Birth Movement York!
We’re so glad you found us, and congratulations on your pregnancy.
Our friendly and welcoming York Positive Birth Movement group meets once a month, usually either on a weekend afternoon or a weekday lunchtime. It’s a place for women to come together and share positive stories, hopes, concerns, ideas about pregnancy and birth. The aim is to normalise positive birth, informed decision making and support women in empowering themselves. Pregnant women, new mothers and their partners and other supporter are welcomed to the meet ups to gather to talk frankly about their hopes, concerns and share questions, solutions and stories. Each month the theme for the group will change, and there will be space and time for the group to bring their own priorities and questions to the discussion.
Becoming a mother and a parent can be one of the most exciting, transformative and beautiful times in our lives. But it can also be confusing, frightening and hard to know where to turn to for support and trustworthy, non-judgemental advice and information. We can help you find support in each other and let you know about local birth professionals and organisations who can help you, and sign post you to information so you can make your own choices and informed decisions.
Through these friendly and informal monthly meet ups we explore pregnancy, birth and family in an empowering, inclusive and affirming way. Pregnant women and new mothers gather to talk frankly about their hopes, concerns and share questions, solutions and stories. Each month there is a theme for the group, and there will always be space and time for the group to bring their own priorities and questions to the discussion. There is absolutely no judgement, no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to birth or to mother. This is about supporting each other, exploring your choices (and indeed knowing you have them), and learning what feels right for you so you can have a positive and more confident pregnancy and birth.
We look forward to seeing you soon
