My Top 3 TRUSTED Sources of Information

So, you’ve done your hypnobirthing course and now you’re sitting down to put together your KILLER birth plan! You’re researching all the different interventions you may be offered, what rights you have, birth place options…

But there is just so much information out there. Who do you trust? A lot of it is conflicting…and downright confusing…or dare I say…deliberately misleading?

So I have put together my Top 3 sources of birth information that I trust along with links. These sources are evidence based and my absolute go-to’s for any queries I have. These are also the sources that I recommend to my clients when they’re putting together their birth plans.

I hope you find it useful in your decision making.
