The Birth

Birth is your bub’s first ceremony. You are still the parent of a beautiful Traditional Owner of the lands on which you are from.

We acknowledge there will be lots of different feelings once your bub is born.

We acknowledge that the passing of your baby means grief and pain on lots of levels. Not just physically and emotionally, but grief in all parts of your connection to this baby, through community, culture, Country, Spirit, Ancestors and Dreaming.

Choosing how to spend the first hours with your precious bub is a very personal decision.

You can’t make a wrong choice on how to do it.

You choose the right way for you.

Culturally, what does your spirit need?

Are there things that will help you and Bub in that first day? What is important to you?

If you don’t know, that’s ok too. It’s ok to ask people around you to help think of ways that will support this hard journey.
