Never underestimate the value of a good birth partner. A birth partner has many roles, including creating a space in which the mother feels safe, nurtured and supported. Your feelings and expectations of birth will have an effect on the birthing woman. Lucy Corkhill explores some holistic techniques. Link: http://www.thegreenparent.co.uk/92/

Lucy Corkhill is a freelance writer and hosts workshops from her beautiful clifftop home. She worked for many years as a therapist specialising in pregnancy and post-natal treatments and she and her husband are looking forward to adopting in 2012.
