What do a FruChoc crumb, a Violet Crumble cube and a Vili’s meat pie have in common?

They’re part of the most iconic (and slightly ridiculous) way to visualise cervical dilation — South Australian style.

Because birth isn’t just clinical… it’s cultural, emotional, and a whole journey.

And sometimes, a cheeky bakery reference is exactly what we need to feel seen.

Let’s cut through the noise.

Let’s get you prepped — body, mind + nervous system.

In early labour, your uterus is warming up — gentle contractions help soften and thin the cervix. You might feel crampy, restless, emotional, or totally fine.

🔥 In active labour, things intensify. Your contractions become longer, stronger, and closer together — drawing the cervix open so baby can move down.

🌊 Transition is when your hormones peak — you might feel shaky, overwhelmed, or like “you can’t do this” (which usually means you’re about to).

🌀 Then your body shifts again — and urges to push begin. It’s not a to-do list. It’s a sensation, a force moving through you.

Your uterus is the strongest muscle in your body.

Your hormones are on your side.

And you have every right to feel safe, informed, and supported as this unfolds.

This is what I teach in my Birth Education workshop —

Not just what to expect, but how to meet labour with calm, clarity, and confidence.

Dani The Doula

Welcome to my Doula page. My name is Dani and I am a 30 year old mother to a 10 month old baby girl named Myah and a step mother to a 12 year old prenager (new hip word the kids call themselves for pre teenager) named Sascia. I suffered from infertility for 4 years due to endometriosis and adenomyosis, however we were blessed with a beautiful miracle baby girl in December 2017.

Pregnancy and the postpartum period is an amazing journey but such an exhausting and unfamiliar place. It is the most beautiful time, but partners are learning to become parents and are facing a whole new world and sometimes it can be rather daunting. This is where my job as a doula comes into play.

· I want to help women who need guidance with their fertility/infertility. As I have been through infertility myself, I feel I would be an asset and can really comprehend how difficult the rough road of infertility can be and change it for a positive experience.
