Your Birth Blueprint Online Learning
The birthing woman’s guide to navigating Australian maternity care with confidence.
For many women birth intervention is a reality, with 78% of Australian women having some sort of pain relief, 36% a c-section and 35% having an induced labour in 2019 (AIHW, 2021). For some parents, their experience of birth has involved life-or-death decisions, under pressure and in an unfamiliar environment. This type of experience can be distressing and even traumatic.
This is why we have created this online guide to navigating Australian maternity care. So you can prepare and practise with quality information from a balanced viewpoint.

Your Birth Blueprint has a lofty goal for all women
The experience of birthing in a hospital is one where a birthing woman feels at the centre. She is respected, educated, has access to the care she wants, is involved in decision making and understands that she has choices. Decisions are made in collaboration with her care providers and parents are active, educated participants.

As someone who has given birth to three children in the Australian public health system with different levels of intervention, she is passionate about the rights of all parents to make decisions based on quality, balanced information that they can trust.
All women deserve for their voice to be heard and sometimes we need help knowing how to speak up. That's what this course is about - it's a way for you, as a birthing woman, to build your confidence and find your voice with the HER ACT strategy. You cannot control what will happen when it comes to birth, YBB will give you the blueprint for being prepared for the hospital, for the intervention, for the communication and, having practised for the unknown.
In turn, we hope you can own and feel at peace with your birth experience however that may be.
What people say
My partner has a better understanding of the role he can play around advocacy and supporting me with whatever might come our way.

I LOVED the information shared about health literacy - ensuring that women and their partners are able to understand the information being told to them and apply it. A great point was made about holding space for parents to have a voice and speak up what they think they need or what they are thinking or feeling.
