Mums- and dads-to-be, listen up! On 14 May, Cambridgeshire Doulas will present the Belly to Baby show at Trumpington Meadows Primary School. Taking place from 10am-4pm, the show is designed to showcase the local doula community and its partners, and help you to find out what kind of support is available to you during your childbearing year.
A doula is there to provide continuous help, support and advice for the whole family, from pregnancy through to the early days of parenthood. Their role is that of a non-judgemental companion, providing emotional and practical support and advising on everything from breast or bottle feeding right the way through to simply being a helping hand to facilitate the transition to motherhood and make it as smooth and positive as possible.
At the Belly to Baby show, expectant and new parents can find out about the support available to them, get lots of advice and discover more about local ethical pregnancy and birth initiatives in and around Cambridge. Learn about everything from hypnobirthing and yoga to birthing for blokes and baby wearing – plus enjoy lots and lots of cake, in a friendly, supportive environment.
Cambridge Birth Choices, run by local doulas Becky Talbot and Ellie Cook, will also be at Strawberry Fair in June. Pop into their bell tent, have some tea and cake and chill out with the doulas, asking any questions you have, before you head back out to enjoy
the festival.
