The Discover Birth Mission

Discover Birth is on a mission to change the world and believes that through positive birth experiences, birthing people, children and families can be happier, healthier and closer.

The birth of a baby has a long lasting impact on the physical and mental health of a birthing person, baby and family. The quality of emotional care someone receives during labour, birth and immediately after is one vital factor that can strengthen or weaken the parent-child relationship. People need consistent, continuous reassurance, comfort, encouragement and respect from those around her during childbirth. Research suggests that good support systems have been found to reduce anxiety, increase relaxation and a sense of well-being.
