AN ONLINE website\/forum aimed at better supporting women throughout their pregnancy and parenting journey is the brainchild of Ocean Grove\u2019s Alex Gadsden.
\nBeing Better Balanced (BBB) provides interactive webinars with leading health professionals, eBooks and online classes, that may help alleviate stress for pregnant and postpartum women affected by stage three restrictions, according to Ms Gadsden.
\n\u201cThe site launched in January after I\u2019d worked on it for a couple of years. Now with coronavirus restricting access to a lot of health services, a lot more women are panicking.
\n\u201cTheir prenatal appointments and birth classes are being cancelled. Being Better Balanced is a safe and positive space for them to access that information without having to leave the home.\u201d
\nA chiropractor by trade, Ms Gadsen said she first had the idea of creating the interactive online resource, when she realised how many women struggle to access health services.
\n\u201cI work with lots of pregnant women, new mums and kids in our practice and over time I realised there are a lot of women that aren\u2019t in Geelong.
\n\u201cWomen who have really busy schedules or financially can\u2019t afford to go and see all these wonderful health professionals in the birthing and parenting scene. So, I thought, \u2018How can I change that?\u2019, and make it accessible for everyone.
\n\u201cI wanted to make sure that women everywhere, no matter what their circumstances, are able to access different health professionals and information. Some of the professionals featured include a lactation specialist, nutritionist, naturopath, midwives and a birthing doula.\u201d
\nMs Gadsden said the response had been really positive with women using the site to guide them through their parenting journey.
\n\u201cIt\u2019s about making sure they\u2019re comfortable during their pregnancy and are feeling healthy and well. The first eBook covers everything pregnancy related, then the second, covers everything postpartum.
\n\u201cWe\u2019re providing a chapter of our first eBook free for the community to use. We will also be holding free online classes to better support families during this time and have a mini-series via Facebook live coming up that the public can access.\u201d
