Birth Circle was founded by midwife of over 30 years, Sheryl Sidery and is facilitated by her daughter Abby Sidery, who is also a midwife. They have a shared desire to support women throughout the profound journey of pregnancy, birth and becoming a mother. 

A list of the topics that will be discussed throughout the workshop can be found on the ‘antenatal workshop’ page of the website. 

We highly recommend you watch Birth Time prior to your workshop date. It can be streamed from https://www.birthtime.world . Otherwise nothing – Just bring yourself and your birth partner, a water bottle and notepad and pen if you desire.

Absolutely! The Birth Circle workshop explores more than just labour and birth. We will discuss topics such as parenting, the fourth trimester and breastfeeding. Our workshop will complement other childbirth education courses. 

We usually recommend 32-36 weeks so that the concept of having a baby is less abstract/foreign. Having said that, some women want more time to research their options, so I would suggest no earlier than 28weeks. 

The Birth Circle workshop not only covers evidence based techniques for labour and birth, but delves into expectations, modes of birth, relationships, parenting, infant development, amongst much more. We surveyed mothers who conclusively reported they wish there had been more information on the fourth trimester and parenting in their antenatal education.
