Labour. Get ready for it. It’s gonna happen. And while there’s no such thing as a plan, you can do what you need to feel prepared, quietly confident and in calm control. Birth Skills is a super handy step by step guide with Juju Sundin’s proven pain management techniques for your labour and birth (and, notably, noone elses). She’ll help you understand what your body is doing and why, and how you can actively manage the pain and stay in control while helping your body do what it's designed to. As a physiotherapist in private obstetric practice in Sydney, Juju is one of Australia's most prominent educators in prenatal education including both childbirth preparation and holistic pregnancy fitness. Her dynamic and innovative teaching style has inspired thousands of women and men towards a rewarding childbirth experience. Her philosophy? Birth is not about being a natural birth, an epidural birth or a Caesarean birth - all of these are possibilities, but she doesn’t believe in getting bogged down in labels. JuJu believes the focus should be on LEARNING from reading, attending classes, personal insights, life experience, talking and sharing, preparing physically and mentally - and then, on the day, with you as richly equipped as possible, take each 60 sec contraction one by one. Birth Skills by Juju Sundin will help you get into a great headspace to enjoy and prepare for labour. You got this!
