Having had a baby during 2020, I realise that this (post) Covid-19 climate may cause some extra anxiety, given how fast things can change. I was right there with you mama - considering options for birth, and seeking out information to stay calm and informed.

Here are some free resources I found useful to fill my mind with positive birth stories and evidence based information so that I felt confident with the decisions I’m made along the way. I hope they help you too.
