For me, one of the main challenges in Birth Preparation is supporting women and their partners to become 'confident' in the process of birth, whilst at the same time, assisting them in being able to remain 'open' to the unexpected or perhaps unwished for events that can occasionally arise during birth. An open, relaxed approach reduces fear, and quite simply, this helps women to open!
