DESCRIPTION
Positive Birth Edinburgh is a local birth group providing professional and peer-led support in Edinburgh, the Lothians and beyond. We provide a safe place to share evidence-based information on birth choices and rights as well as birth experiences and stories. Our monthly meetings are free to attend, open and welcoming to all.
A positive birth means a birth in which a woman feels she has freedom of choice, access to accurate information, and that she is in control, powerful and respected. A birth that she approaches with a sense of calm and with an open mind, but without fear or dread, and that she then goes on to enjoy, and later remember with warmth and pride.
A positive birth does not have to be ‘natural’ or ‘drug free’ – it simply has to be informed from a place of positivity as opposed to fear. You can birth with positivity in hospital or at home, with or without medical intervention. You can have a positive caesarean, or a positive home water birth. Positive birth is about approaching birth realistically, having genuine choice, and feeling empowered by your experience.
Come along to a meeting, get in touch or follow us on Instagram or Facebook to find out more about us and our supportive online community.
