EMPOWERMENT THROUGH EDUCATION

The She Births® method allows a deep transformation to take place within every couple. The process fosters a sense of trust in birth and security in each other. Not only are these factors critical to creating a more natural and beautiful birth experience, but also in creating the foundation for stronger, more resilient families going forward.

SCIENTIFICALLY VERIFIED PROGRAM

In 2015, the She Births® antenatal education program was scrutinised in large randomised controlled trials within two mixed demographic hospitals in Sydney, Australia. The study was conducted by Western Sydney University and the National Institute of Complementary Medicine.

The She Births® program was chosen for this study because it incorporates more complementary medicine modalities than other childbirth courses and our own private normal birth rates are so high (83%).

This groundbreaking research highlights dramatic improvements for the Study group, who received the She Births® program, in comparison to the Control group who received the standard hospital birth preparation course.

Results were published in British Medical Journal and Midwifery Journal in 2016.

65% reduction in epidural rates

44% reduction in caesarean sections

HCF SHE BIRTHS® PRIVATE HOSPITAL TRIAL

Australia’s largest not-for-profit health fund is currently conducting a trial within the private hospital system. Over 120 couples have been recruited by HCF to take part in the She Births® course free-of-charge.

It’s anticipated that this trial will result in significant reductions in birth cost, complications and the number of days babies are in the NICU. Preliminary results are promising and will be released early 2019.

The Birthing Institute is committed to ongoing research and development on a global scale. We are in conversation with researchers in the USA about implementation and trials on the east coast.

“Birth shocks a lot of fathers ...”

Dr Rakime Elmir of Western Sydney University has found that birth changes men. Those who are unprepared for birth can display symptoms of PTSD, including aggression, hypervigilance and detachment.

30% of women describe their birth as traumatic
90% of families experience increased conflict after birth
2000 men and women are diagnosed with prenatal or postnatal depression each week
98% of She Births® couples say the program allowed them to create a beautiful birth no matter what unfolded

‘I have been recommending the She Births® program for many years to my pregnant clients, and the change in women after participating in the course is remarkable.
She Births® gives women the confidence to trust their bodies and the birth process. It provides them with the knowledge to make decisions that feel right for them as individuals.
One of the my favourite things about the program is how informed and excited the birth partner reports feeling!

Supporting choice and team work for better births

In coversation with Midwife, Jo Hunter

It’s been amazing to watch the evolution of She Births® over the years and see how our couples as well as medical professionals have spread the word, supporting the program and the families who partake. It takes a great team to have a beautiful birth!

We are proud to work with wonderful Obstetricians, (some of whom completed the course themselves when pregnant) General Practitioners, Midwives both private and public system workers and many more health and birth professionals. Many of our Educators are also Midwives and long term birth professionals too.

This podcast is a conversation with dear friend Jo Hunter, a private practising endorsed midwife based in Sydney, Australia. Jo Hunter has been a midwife as well as a doula and educator and been helping families over 20 years. She is also the co-creator of a new documentary film we are all very excited about called BirthTime.

In conversation with Obstetrician, Dr Jan Dudley

The vision for She Births® has always been to reach every single woman on the planet; to provide her with an education in whatever way she needs. 

This video is a conversation about team work in the birthing room, as well as putting in the preparation. As well as talking to Dr Jan Dudley we have the inspiring Anna Kooiman who has worked many years as a TV and News Presenter in New York before coming to Australia to give birth to little Brookes. Anna achieved a natural posterior birth which we know it is not an easy feat! We hope you enjoy.

Nadine Richardson, Anna Kooiman and Dr Jan Dudley in conversation

Dr Jan Dudley has over 30 years’ experience catching babies in the Eastern Suburbs of Sydney. She is well-loved by many of our families, and talks about birth as an ancient art, the power of woman and the importance of surrender, as well as preparation.

For me our chat is all about choice and creating a team around you that you trust. Getting education, no matter where you are birthing, is absolutely critical. Read full post here …
