The third trimester isn’t just a countdown. It's not about getting through the final weeks - it is about helping your body feel confident, supported, capable and ready.
And yet so much antenatal education focuses on stages of labour and pain relief options - not how your body actually works which is what I am so passionate about empowering you with.
Here’s what’s often missing in general antenatal classes:
Your baby’s position in your pelvis & how to influence it
Not just optimal positioning, but how your posture, movement patterns and daily habits influence comfort and space.
The biomechanics of labour
Why certain positions help at certain stages.
How your movement supports the flow of labour - descent and rotation of baby & why this matters
What your body is trying to do - and how to work with it.
Embodied preparation
Birth isn’t something you think your way through.
It’s something you breathe, move and feel your way through.
Nervous system safety
Your body labours best when it feels safe.
Regulation, confidence and understanding matters more than rigid plans.
Real partner preparation
Not just “be encouraging” but practical, hands-on ways to support positioning, comfort and decision-making.
This is exactly why I created Birth Ready, a 1:1 two-part preparation:
Session one - just you, mama to be
Personalised third trimester preparation focused on how to create space in your pelvis for baby, how to encourage optimal positioning to help labour flow, focus on your posture and daily movement that will help support your labour & birth when the time comes, reduce tension in the body which is key, and build confidence learning exercises that will support your third trimester birth preparation.
Session two - with your birth partner
We walk through the stages of labour, effective movement and positions for each phase to support labour flow, and how your partner can actively support you in ways that are calm, practical and effective. This is a practical, hands on session and you'll come away with knowledge of how to work as a team in labour & birth.
It’s about feeling steady, informed and connected to your body before labour begins.
If you want birth preparation that feels practical, personalised and worthwhile - this is for you.
Recommended starting 32-34 weeks so if you're in or maybe approaching your third trimester, I would love to support you.
Sessions are either in my private studio space in Ashby or at your home - whichever you feel is right for you.
Each session is 90 mins, total investment of £175 for Pregnancy Yoga clients (exclusive, founding offer).
