Oxford is a fantastic place for expectant parents and those with new babies, there is so much on offer. Some of my favourites:
Physically Fit Pre/Post Natal Pilates
MYoga private pre and post-natal yoga classes
Brilliant independent midwives covering the Oxford area:
Liz Nightingale at Purple Walnut Midwife
Meg Miskin, Sarah Ifill and Liz at Oxfordshire Midwifery Practice
Lou Pouget at Undisturbed Birthing
I’m collecting some wonderful birth stories from Mindful Mamma clients who have generously shared their experiences here. These are also great websites for reading positive birth stories:
Positive Birth Movement positive birth stories
And the podcast The Birth Hour
As well as the books ‘Spiritual Midwifery’ and ‘Ina May’s Guide to Childbirth’ by Ina May Gaskin, and ‘Adventures in Natural Childbirth: Tales from Women on the Joys, Fears, Pleasures, and Pains of Giving Birth Naturally’ by Janet Schwegel.
And great for information and suggestions:
