Birth Debrief
Our Service
The Birth Debrief Service at the Family & Child Hub provides an opportunity to talk about your birth story with a registered midwife.
Birth debriefing is an opportunity to talk openly about your experience of birth and get clarification on any questions to help understand what happened and why some decisions were made. Many women and their partners find this helpful after a traumatic birth or when preparing for the birth of another baby.
Service Information
This service is conducted by a registered midwife. Midwives are trained in providing pregnancy, labour and birth related care and offer support throughout both your pregnancy and birth journey.
Our midwife is not a trained counsellor or psychologist and does not provide psychological support. We aim to provide understanding of events surrounding the birth and bring relief from any unresolved feelings. The midwife will provide referrals to psychological services if needed.
You can access this service whenever you feel you are ready to discuss your birth experience. For some people this may be as early as 6 weeks after baby is born, others might wait several months or even years. It can also be helpful when planning a new pregnancy or preparing for an upcoming birth.
Who can use this service?
Any person who wishes to debrief their own birth experience can access this service by contacting the Family & Child Hub. Your GP, maternal and child health nurse, midwife, obstetrician or other professional may also make a referral on your behalf and the team from The Family & Child Hub will contact you to make an appointment.
