Essential Parent
[Andrea Robertson]   Congratulations on joining the wonderful world of parenting!
This Web site is dedicated to enabling you to consider all your options as you explore the wonders of pregnancy and the adventure of labour and birth. All the information we have presented is evidence based - that is, it has been based on the best scientific studies to date.
You will choose those options that best suit your own circumstances and preferences. Only you can know what is best for you and your baby and no-one has your baby's health at heart more than you do. Trust your instincts and the fascinating process of childbearing that nature has evolved over millions of years.
Best wishes for a safe and happy pregnancy, labour and birth.
Andrea Robertson
