If you're perusing the FYC Village Blog, then we are going to put a $50 on the fact that you've game planned your best postpartum, but how are you going in the labour and birthing department?
If your answer is, ‘Hon, I got this!’ Then maybe you can stop reading, but you may also learn some interesting facts, tips and exercises to get your mind and body primed for birth.
If you haven’t prepped for your labour, never fear - we got you Mama!
Here are some of our favourite people and organisations to connect with to gear up for the big event!
