This will be an in person meeting. Please let me know if you plan to attend.
Although meetings are better in person, and people come from all over the city and surrounding areas, there are times where online is the online way to join. If anyone needs to join online I can open this link, but please let me know ahead of time so I plan to bring my laptop.

This group is a FREE community group open to parents looking to receive or give positive information about birth and an opportunity to connect with and gain support from other like-minded parents.
We meet on the fourth Wednesday of the month at 7pm at Marketplace Family Chiropractic Centre, 80 Marketplace Avenue, Unit J2 Barrhaven.
Your Birth Circle Organizers set a monthly theme; however, we will discuss what ever is of interest, concern, or need for the families attending.
January - Choice in Birth
February - Becoming a mother
March - Positive Birth
April - Planning for Birth (birth plans, preferences, can you plan?, making plan B's and plan C's, what can you do to maximise chances of a positive birth?)
May - The Hour of Power: the first hour after birth (delayed clamping, skin to skin, bonding, initiating breastfeeding, what will you do in that hour, what choices will you make to treasure & celebrate that time?)
June - Dads and Birth Partners (the role of dads / partners at birth, should they be there?!, what they can do to help, what women need from them, space for them to speak hopes / fears)
July - Fear (what if anything do we fear about birth?)
August - Pain (what will it be like, coping methods, does it have to be painful?)
September - The last days of pregnancy (celebrating this time, coping with it, issues around induction etc)
October - Rights in Birth
November - Caesarean birth
December - Oxytocin

"Women have been successfully birthing babies since the beginning of time and I believe YOU can do it to. I have had three incredibly wonderful natural home birth experiences in 2006, 2009, and 2011. I have supported many women through pregnancy and birth. I have seen how information, support, and belief in yourself, your baby, and birth can transform women, families, and lives forever." Nancy Salgueiro
“For me an empowered birth is one where I am the one who makes the decisions for me and my baby. Where I am in an environment of love, support, and respect for the power within my body to successfully birth my baby. Where I can be free to express anything I need to express; sound, movement, fear, love, ecstasy in a place that my expression will not lead to interference from the outside. I believe women have the ability to create an empowering birth experience regardless of if the birth outcome is natural, medicated, or surgical. When women are making the decisions for their bodies and their babies out of education, faith, belief and confidence in themselves and not out of fear or manipulation they will be empowered. I believe in the human body, in it’s power, and in birth’s ability to transform a person, woman, wife, and mother.” - Nancy Salgueiro
