What is the Bristol Home Birth Group?

The Bristol Home Birth Group is a space that welcomes anyone exploring or planning a homebirth, including those making preparations for labouring at home before hospital. It is a supportive space to connect with others who have an interest in or an experience of homebirth.

 

We are an inclusive space. We welcome everybody.

 

The group is run by a network of volunteers, midwives, birth professionals and birthing parents. Together we share a passion to support people to birth where they feel most comfortable. 

 

During the sessions you can expect:

 

• Discover evidence-based information and dispel myths 

• Find out about local resources and information

• Gather practical information to support labour/birth at home

• Support to navigate decisions and know your options

• Make connections with other families in your area

• Hear birth stories

• Discussion around monthly themes related to homebirth

• A space to ask questions

 

Meetings are held once a month in Bristol.
