Birth professionals give families knowledge, guidance and practical ways to prepare. But the next step—turning that learning into something personal, memorable and adaptable—often needs a different kind of engagement.
Birth Bumps helps create that step.
Through play, discussion and facilitated activities, families can explore practical tools on their own terms, consider how they might use them and practise applying their learning across different birth situations.
This does not replace antenatal education or professional support. It helps clients engage more deeply with the work you already do.
The Card Game opens discovery and conversation. Professional activities support application and practice.
Together, the Birth Bumps range helps professionals move clients from receiving information to exploring it, applying it and preparing to adapt when birth unfolds in its own way.
Birth Bumps is not an antenatal course and does not attempt to replace professional knowledge, guidance or relationships.
It gives you another way to help families engage with the learning you already provide.
You might use the cards to:
- open or conclude a teaching session;
- introduce comfort and support options;
- encourage discussion between birth partners;
- prompt small-group exploration;
- revisit learning from an earlier session;
- explore how preferences may change in different circumstances;
- support one-to-one conversations;
- create an interactive class activity; or
- give families a way to continue learning together at home.
You can use one card, a selected category, a short activity or the complete game. The resource can adapt to your setting, your clients and the time available.
