Rainbow Kin: Childbirth and Early Parenting Education for LGBTQIA+/Rainbow Families

About

Join us for a two-part educational series designed specifically for LGBTQIA+ and Rainbow families, led by a queer midwife who brings both professional expertise and lived experience. These sessions offer a welcoming, inclusive space where all identities and family structures are affirmed and supported.

Running on two consecutive Saturdays, the first session will focus on Inclusive Childbirth Education—covering labour preparation, birth options, navigating the healthcare system, and creating affirming birth plans. The second session will centre on Early Parenting, including newborn care, feeding, sleep, bonding, and building your confidence as new parents. Mental health and holistic wellbeing will be woven throughout both sessions, acknowledging and supporting the unique experiences of Rainbow families.

You’re welcome to attend either session individually or both, depending on what suits your family’s needs. When booking, please be sure to include the number of people attending, so we can make sure everyone feels comfortable and supported.

If you would like to only attend the second session focusing on Early Parenting please email becky@birthingbelonging.com.au.

Series are free for Rainbow Mob/Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander LGBTQIASB+ community, please use code RAINBOWMOB at checkout.

If you are unwaged, experiencing financial hardship or the investment is a barrier to you attending a series, please email becky@birthingbelonging.com.au to book in.

We are a part of Birthing Belonging, who are registered as a: Sole Trader.
