A Birth Map a powerful document that works like a ‘choose your own adventure’, where the birthing woman is the author.  It benefits women, their partners and the Care Provider.​​
Knowing what to ask, and being able to ask well in advance, means freedom to explore the options. Understanding the various pathways and how they intertwine, means the power to make Informed Decisions.

 

This game can be used to demonstrate the aspects of birth we can not control, and those we can. It lays out the pathways and decision points, making it easy to visualise the concept.

The tabletop game is printed on a 100% cotton tea towel, and comes with three playing stones, a 20D (dice) and the game instructions (travel guide). Ideal for personal use or for use with clients. Can be used in small groups also, with up to three players/couples.

The Mega Game is 1.5m x 1.2m fabric, and comes with three playing stones, a large dice and the game instructions (travel guide).  Ideal for childbirth education classes (preparing parents), and undergraduate education (preparing future care providers).

This game helps us to consider different hypothetical scenarios, and build an understanding of possibilities.  It is a communication and decision making aid, and an educational tool.  Designed to introduce the concept, before using the book to build a personal map to aid in navigating birth.

The book takes you step by step through your birth and beyond preparation:

Step OneBeyond the Birth focuses on building an understanding of Your Context. Your values and circumstances will set the scene for all your decision making, as they influence how you make sense of your options. Starting with understanding beyond the birth provides a reality check and helps to set up a support network for the early days of parenting.  This section covers matrescence, the early weeks, practical preparations, breastfeeding basics, sleep insights, and preparing older children for a new sibling.

Step Two: The insights provide the foundation for understanding the maternity system and your options within it.

Step Three: The Questions takes you through each pathway (fast birth, expected and contingency).  This is where the personal Birth Map is developed.  The advanced care directive approach creates an ‘if this, then that’ series of decisions to be used by your birth team and care providers during your labour.  It is your birth, your way, no matter what. 

The book has been designed to be written in, with space to make notes, add affirmations, decorate it.  Journal in it.

The Birth Map is linked to the portal of resources and a hub of support in the free member access.

 

the game

There is no one way. Your foundation will inform your decisions; you must balance information with your circumstances. What is right for one woman may be very wrong for another. You are the expert in your context, and your decisions belong to you….
The Game of Birth includes the game board (on a 100% cotton tea towel), three playing stones, a 20D (dice) and the ravel guide (game instructions).

This game lays out the pathways and decision points, making it easy to visualise the concept.  As you play the game, you will explore how you might respond to different scenarios, and consider your options in advance.
