About Your Birth Friend
Supporting Families Across Cheshire & North Staffordshire
I support families across Tarvin, Congleton, Sandbach, Biddulph, Kidsgrove and the surrounding areas through pregnancy yoga, babywearing support and sling library services.
​
Whether you're preparing for birth, learning to use a stretchy wrap with your newborn, or finding a comfortable carrier for your toddler, I'm here to help you feel informed, confident and supported.
Meet Samantha Allen
It’s important to trust those in your support network, especially when they are interacting with your baby as well as yourself.
I know how it feels to be unsupported and alone on your parenting journey. I’m a mum of two, and became a mother in lockdown. I had two homebirths, including an unplanned freebirth (BBA).
Of all the things I’ve done in my life, parenting has taught me the most. Everyday is a school day when you have little kids!​​
Why Your Birth Friend Exists
Your Birth Friend was created because I believe families deserve calm, evidence-informed support throughout pregnancy, birth and early parenthood.
My goal isn't to tell you what to do. It's to help you understand your options, trust yourself and feel confident making decisions that are right for your family.
