The Jentle Childbirth Foundation (JCF) provides the tools women and their families need for them to achieve a positive birth experience.
The JCF approach has been designed to empower all women during their pregnancy and birth journey, whether it’s a vaginal birth or caesarean section.
The Jentle Childbirth Foundation was founded by midwife Jenny Smith in 2007 and it achieved charitable status in 2017. Charity no. 1179559
Jenny’s work for the JCF has always been supported by the mothers, partners and their families who were grateful for their experience and wanted to help share the experience with others.
We believe that pregnancy and childbirth should be a positive and personal experience for all women and we nurture this through education, training and research. We have put together a selection of useful vidoes, you can view all of these on our videos page.
In the UK, one in three women are offered an induction of labour.
The aim of our film is to give you information regarding induction and what to expect during the induction process if you decide to have one.
