In this week's episode of First Time Mum's Chat I'm chatting with midwife Beau Wilson about active birthing.

I'm a big fan of holistic solutions and was fascinated when Beau told me all about the holistic childbirth education and support that she provides to families. I particularly like the way in which she empowers and gives both the mums and partners that she trains a level of independence, so they are prepared for the birth process with a good degree of confidence.

During our chat you'll hear Beau talk about:-

• The process of active birthing, including its many benefits such as the advantages of being active and upright and mobilizing the pelvis during the birth process.
• The many advantages of having a waterbirth for both mother and baby and you'll hear all about the process.
• The advantages of delayed umbilical cord clamping.
• How homeopathy can help mums have more control over their birth experience and treat things that they wouldn't be able to do in conventional medicine.

And much more...
