Foundations of birth video series

With the COVID-19 pandemic changing the way healthcare providers approach the delivery of services, the WA Country Health Service (WACHS) has developed a range of resources for women and their partners on childbirth, breastfeeding and early parenting education.

WACHS has also worked to increase the number of telehealth classes available to rural and remote families, in addition to a variety of other options. You can attend these online classes with your partner at a hospital or from your home if you have a good internet connection. To receive more information about these classes or for general enquires please email WACHSbirtheducation@health.wa.gov.au

For expectant parents who are not able to attend the telehealth classes, we have recorded the ‘Foundations of Birth’ series which is available via the YouTube video links below:

• Preparation for Labour and Birth (video, 56:30)
• Pain Relief and Birth Interventions (video, 41:07)
• Breastfeeding (video, 46:59)
• Early Parenting (video, 56:25)
