Rebecca, “I felt totally empowered and reassured about the process of giving birth after watching Birthwise.  Because everything was explained clearly, especially about pain, I knew I could handle it."

I kept hearing Caroline’s words in my head throughout labour and it gave me confidence.  Caroline’s advice to stay in bed for 10 days is wonderful – it gave me permission to let myself stay in bed which then helped me to heal quickly and to establish breastfeeding.  If you can give yourself the support of watching Birthwise, I would recommend it.” Rebecca Collins, mother to Cameron

“Birthwise really helped me to prepare for how it would be once the baby is born.  It help me to set expectations and in the end really did prepare me.  It was reassuring to watch and as a father it was great to hear other fathers and to learn everything – it is not just for women.  Birthwise also helped us to get clear about key decisions such as breast feeding.  Caroline is awesome, caring and you feel you can trust your life with her.” David Collins, father to Cameron

Birthwise Reviews

"The Birthwise DVD's arrived as you said last week. They are absolutely excellent, we have almost finished watching them. We were very impressed by the quality of the DVD's and will be  recommending them to friends etc. We were really disappointed and worried that we had not been offered any  antenatal classes throughout this our first pregnancy but now we both feel so much better prepared having watched the birthwise DVD's. I am a GP trainee and am married to a PE teacher and although I have a good knowledge of obstetrics through my training I've never given birth or been a mum before, so was really greatful to watch well constructed and practical advice from a decent midwife! My husband has been asking me lots of questions since watching the dvd's so he has clearly taken in alot of good info. Thankyou very much"
