Every pregnant woman's essential, step-by-step guide to taking charge of their labour and birth.
by Australia's leading expert in advanced labour pain management
Even after reading countless pregnancy books, I still didn't understand what my labour would be like. All I really knew was it would be painful and scary. Then my obstetrician suggested I take Juju Sundin's birth skills classes. Juju gave me the knowledge to understand my body during labour and taught me about the physiology of pain and how to use her techniques to deal with it. - Sarah Murdoch
Like most women, you'll go into labour with little knowledge of exactly what your body is doing and why and how you can actively manage the pain and stay in control while helping your body do what it's designed to.
That's where Birth Skills Class comes in, a step-by-step guide packed with information plus easy-to-learn, proven pain management skills.
In Birth Skills Class, obstetric physiotherapist Juju Sundin shares the techniques she has pioneered over her 30-year career. At the same time, Sarah Murdoch takes you on a personal journey of her labour and birth, describing how she learned the skills in the class then applied them on the big day.
Whether it's your first baby or lucky last, you will learn:
- How your body works in labour and why.
- How to turn fear into positive action so you stay in control.
- How to use movement, breathing, vocalisation, visualisation, keywords and other handy techniques.
- What to wear, what to take, and what questions to ask.
- How your partner can help, and working as a team.
- Other women's experiences using Juju's techniques.

from 17 reviewsOne of the cleanest/shortest list of ingredients I've seen on the market. This and Wotnot are great. Will definitely be buying again when run out.
Pleasant smell, nourishes my skin really nicely. Wish I purchased earlier whilst still pregnant, but oh well, never too late to get started I guess. Will buy again when I run out.
Beautifully packaged & feels so nourishing to drink
Silverettes are nipple saviours! Would do postpartum without them.
My daughter loved the gift card! It was perfect for me because I am in the United States and she lives in Australia.
This is my 2nd time buying these cookies. They’re delicious and feel healthier than what I’m able to make at home. Great for a daytime snack or very early in morning to help with staying awake while breastfeeding. Will definitely buy again!!
Delicious and super easy way to start the morning. Have been using this as a morning coffee replacement and am happy with the results. Will but again and now want to try the other options in this range.
I wore these from the very start of my bf journey, and though its a bit of a rough journey for nipples, mine never got red / cracked / bleeding and I praise these little gems for that!
I've been insatiably ravenous while breastfeeding and these biccies are the perfect one handed treat!
My wonderful Radiant Birth book came beautifully packaged with thoughtful personalised note & crystal. A wonderful experience with WOOM.
A book that everyone needs before they give birth. Do yourself a favour, it read and savour it. It could change your entire postpartum period.
Absolute life changer I have been using foraged for 2 months now and it increases my energy, mood and makes me feel all round better. I honestly couldn't live without it again
Such a beautiful nourishing product, perfect for any stage of motherhood. It has changed my life since taking it, so much energy and clarity of mind.
MAGIC!
Bought one as a gift and one for me - this product is stunning. Smells amazing, feels so lovely on the skin and the little flowers in the bottle make it feel like a real treat!
Honestly, I wish I did my research before because Foraged has been incredible to my body. The first time having it in my smoothie I went without a coffee for days. Eventually when I had coffee it wasn’t because my body craved it but just a social habit. My energy levels, mood, everything elevated and I’m feeling great. I will forever rave about this product. Give it a go mama!
