Birthing Belonging

We speak with Becky about Birthing Belonging, which offers inclusive and accessible childbirth and early parenting education for LGBTQIA+ families through their Rainbow Kin sessions. These sessions explore Inclusive Childbirth Education covering labour preparation, birth options, navigating the healthcare system, and creating affirming birth plans that reflect your values, as well as Early Parenting, newborn care, feeding, sleep, bonding, and building confidence as new parents. Learn more about Birthing Belonging at their website or on Instagram. Check out our other JOY Podcasts for more on LGBTIQ+ health and wellbeing at joy.org.au/wellwellwell.
