The Hierarchy of Birth
The “Hierarchy of Birth” is a simple visual tool that helps illustrate the different layers that can influence your birth experience.
It highlights how factors such as your environment, support, mindset and physiology all work together - often having a significant impact on how labour unfolds.
Understanding this can help you focus on what is within your control, and how to create the conditions that support a calm, positive and empowering birth experience.
