Pregnancy is a journey like no other. It is the start of a new human life. It is also the birth of a mother who, over nine months, changes in every possible way - physically, emotionally and socially.

Your nutrition, wellbeing and emotions during this wonderful time play a large role in defining the rest of your baby's life. The experience must also be safe and containing for you to provide your baby with the ultimate start and shape his potential.

Birth - your baby's entry into our world - is a profoundly significant moment, one you don't get to repeat. Being empowered with knowledge, understanding your choices and being active in the process will make a huge difference. Ultimately it does not matter how your baby is born; what matters is how you experience it and that it is safe.

Reading Pregnancy Sense will reduce the anxiety that may stem from the unknown and help you make your choices with insight and flexibility.
