International Day of the Midwife

Every year this special day rolls around, I reflect on the Midwifery care I have received with my 3 pregnancies, births and postnatal journeys.

Scrolling my album today as I reflected, I found this photo. My Midwife holding my hand as I laboured recently with Albie. One simple photo, one simple act of support and encouragement, summarises the enormous impact Midwives have on me.

My incredible Midwife supported me emotionally, mentally and physically, with her calm, empowering presence and knowledge, through another amazing birth at home. Emily Evans, our second Midwife, worked effortlessly and calmly to support us, taking incredible photos like this one for us to cherish for the rest of time, while being another voice of calm and support (all while chatting with and helping Vince and Lottie when they woke and stayed for the birth and remainder of the night also!)

After the birth, the 5 of us were all tucked back into bed. I lay there reflecting on just how lucky and grateful I was to be in my own home, in my own bed, with my kids, my husband and our brand new baby, while my Midwives stayed close by. I hopped up a few hours later to find them still there, still awake, doing loads of washing and tidying up the house before closing the door as the sun rose.

We went to bed the evening before as a family of 4 and the sun rose on us in those same beds now as a family of 5, thanks to the tireless work my Midwives did to make our dream a reality ♥️

The impact that Midwives like these have on families is beyond words.

Thank you to all my Midwives with Vince, Lottie & Albie’s journeys. I will remember your support for the rest of time ♥️

International Day of the Midwife

Today we celebrate midwives for all that they do. Having worked and birthed with Midwives by my side for over 10 years now, I feel so grateful to have been held, supported, taught, cared for, respected and empowered by so many strong, influential, knowledgeable, passionate Midwives in my life.

Midwives have impacted me professionally across my 10 year career to date, as well as personally in the 3 pregnancies, births and postnatal I have had, with the best teams of Midwives I could imagine.

I am forever grateful for the Midwives who have walked alongside me in my journeys in work and motherhood. Thank you for ALL that you do, 24hrs a day, 7 days a week, to make such positive impacts on the lives of women and families that you support. 💕

Welcome, baby Lola 🩷

Lola’s parents did the Positive Birth Program with me as part of a group, over two catch ups.

“Birthed and beyond was invaluable for us.
Birthed & Beyond was such an easy going, fun and informative educator with a wealth of knowledge.
After a previous traumatic birthing experience we felt we needed something more than what was offered through the normal channels. Tools and techniques we never had any idea about prior to doing the classes, helped us create such a calm, controlled, positive birthing experience. My husband also knowing what ways he could and couldn’t help made him feel so much less helpless throughout also. Can’t recommend highly enough for first time parents or third time like us.”

Thank you for choosing BirthEd & Beyond for your preparation for meeting Lola! ✨

Our very own baby deserves a place on the grid with her own ‘welcome baby’ post 🥰

Albie joined our family in the early hours of 23rd Feb and we have been immersed in our newborn bubble as a family of 5 ever since!

We had a beautiful birth at home, supported by my incredible private midwife , our beautiful second midwife Emily (who also captured so many beautiful photos!) and my incredibly supportive “mid-husband”, Ryan 🥰

After spending the Sunday floating around the river with my kids and Ryan, my waters broke while watching a movie with my kids that evening.

Once they were both tucked into bed, I knew my mind and body could now focus on surrendering and relaxing to allow labour to commence, so I practiced what I preach in my classes and popped my TENS machine on and tucked myself into bed with my Positive Birth Program tracks playing in my ears. Soon enough, I started my breathing techniques throughout my tightenings before my husband suggested we phone my midwife, noticing they were becoming more frequent.

He ran the bath and my midwives arrived just on midnight, in my dimly lit room with affirmation cards on the wall, my favourite tracks playing on repeat, while I focused on my breathing, next to a canvas of the moment my son Vince first met his first baby sister, Lottie, 4 years ago - bringing all the oxytocin vibes to our birthing space 🤍

One hour later, never letting go of either Ryan and midwife’s hands, Vince joined us as I birthed our sweet little Albie - a moment I will cherish forever, seeing his excited and smitten little face as he met his second baby sister. Lottie joined us shortly after and she remained by my side, watching me and her baby sister feed and rest until sunrise.

I have had two births now at home, supported by my husband and private midwives, while using the tools and mindset I have learned from the Positive Birth Program which I teach. I am so thankful for the mindset and tools from the program, along with the care and support from my husband and midwives, for helping make my birthing experiences so incredibly beautiful 🤍

Welcome baby Van 🩵

Van’s parents chose to the do the Positive Birth Program with me in a group session with 3 other couples over two Saturdays.

After having a caesarean to have Van, I received this message from Van’s Mum:

“Even though it wasn’t the birth I wished for, the hypnobirthing class still helped me so much. I went into the c section extremely calm, I wasn’t nervous at all and dealt with the change of circumstances really well”

I often say to expectant parents that the tools are extremely helpful for preparing for labour, all the stages of labour and birth, and especially for if there is an unexpected change in circumstances/emergency that arises - to use the tools at this time to be able to make informed decisions with a calm nervous system can be the difference between these births being remembered as traumatic and stressful or calm and in control 💪

You should be so proud of yourself, I hope you’re settling in nicely to life as a family of 3. Thank you for choosing to prepare with BirthEd & Beyond!
