Well you can!
Amazing đŸ€© right!
We agree.

We want every woman to have their own midwife. This is how it use to be and this is how it should be.

We provide women with dedicated midwives because we believe
.

You don’t have to be given a midwife.
You don’t have to wait for a referral.
You don’t have to accept whoever you’re “assigned

You choose.
You decide.
You dictate your care.
You can say, “This is who I want walking beside me through this.”

That’s what we’re doing at The Womanhood Space.
Putting women back in charge of their care.

✹ No matter where you live.
✹ No matter where you plan to birth.
✹ No matter what anyone told you before.

Your care. Your midwife. Your way.

Think it’s too late to get support?
NEVER!
It’s not.

We see so many women who come to us late in pregnancy thinking they’ve missed the boat đŸ›¶

You haven’t.
You’re not too far along.
You’re not too late.
You’re here right on time.

Whether you’re 30 weeks, 39 weeks, or literally packing your hospital bag, you still deserve care that listens, explains, and gives a damn.

You don’t need to do the final stretch on your own.

You don’t need to settle for care that doesn’t feel right.

You can still have your own midwife.

You can still change direction.

You can still feel held.

You don’t need to live near a big đŸ„ hospital to have access to real, continuous, midwifery care.

You don’t need to wait weeks for your next appointment 📅

And you definitely don’t need to do pregnancy or postpartum alone just because you’re rural.

Care shouldn’t come with conditions.

Not postcode.
Not privilege.
Not proximity.

TeleMidwife is about breaking down those barriers because every woman, no matter where she lives, deserves support that sees her as more than a number.

From peeing on the stick to postpartum healing, we’ve got you with midwives and you get to pick which midwife you see.

All you need is a phone or a screen and your question đŸ™‹â€â™€ïž

I remember after my first baby was born, I just felt
 off.

I couldn’t explain it. I loved my baby more than anything. But something felt missing, and I didn’t have the words.
I didn’t know I was missing me.

I didn’t realise I was grieving. Grieving the parts of me I’d lost. The freedom. The spontaneity. The version of me who wasn’t always touched out or responsible for another life 24/7.

I had a beautiful baby.
I had so much to be thankful for.
But I also had this quiet, heavy feeling I couldn’t shake.
It wasn’t sadness. It wasn’t depression. It was just
 grief.
And I didn’t know you could hold that and love at the same time.

Now, after more babies, I know. I’ve learnt to let both exist.
The grief and the joy.
The missing and the loving.
The old me and the new me.
At once.

Big feelings. Messy. Confusing.
But real. And normal.

If you’re in it, you’re not broken.
You’re just becoming someone new.

“Is my baby getting enough?”

It’s the question that keeps so many new mums up at night, especially when you’re breastfeeding and can’t see how much milk they’re getting.

Here’s what we want you to know:

As midwives, when we meet a mum who says,

“I’m exhausted, they’re feeding constantly,”

our minds go: great! We’ve got a healthy, hungry baby on our hands đŸ™ŒđŸ»

But when a new mum says,

“They’ve been sleeping all night,” & she’s looking super fresh

👀 alarm bells.

So how do we know if baby’s getting enough milk?

We look at what’s coming out.
Because if it’s coming out, it’s going in.

đŸ§· Changing nappies every feed? Good.
đŸ’© Black poos turning green then yellow? Great.
💧 5–7 wet nappies a day that get heavier in fluid? Perfect.
đŸšŒ Baby boy weeing on you mid-change? Yay! 🎉 That’s your milk at work, hydrating him and giving you an unwanted shower.

We also check:
đŸ‘¶ Are they settled or unsettled?
đŸ«©Are they waking to eat or are you waking them? (A baby waking up themselves mean they have energy to wake up - energy means milk going in)
đŸŒ Feeding well at the breast or falling asleep quickly?
👄 Dry lips?
🌈 Jaundice?
đŸ€± Are your ni***es sore, cracked, or totally fine?
đŸ«¶ Are your b***s full and heavy or soft and empty post-feed?
💙 Do your breasts have big blue veins? Wonderful (milky veins - not really but they do mean milk đŸ„›)
And of course we check their weight but that is only one part of the puzzle đŸ§© and that’s only one part because babies grow in spurts not a little bit every day.

You’re doing amazing!
You’re learning.
It’s a lot.
Plus the stories from society are strong đŸ’Ș and can really make you question.
If your unsure we’re here to walk it with you.

We have made it so easy to access a midwife and affordable too (it is bulk billed ya know)

It’s really easy to access a midwife now.

You don’t need a referral.
You don’t need to go through a GP.
You don’t need to wait for a hospital to slot you in.

You literally just go to https://f.mtr.cool/dsfcnkzzum
click “book appointment”,
pick a time that works for you,
and boom đŸ’„ you’re booked in to see a midwife.

It’s as easy as booking in with a GP (just without the long wait times)
And yep, you can do it from anywhere in Australia.
Awake at 3am with pregnancy insomnia?
Cool. Get online. Book your midwife.

We wish more women knew that recovery can take longer than six weeks.

Yes your uterus might return to its pre-pregnancy size in roughly 6 weeks

But what about your hormones?
Your blood work?
Your perineum?
Your c/section wound?
Your sleep?
Your identity?

Healing isn’t just physical.

It’s emotional.
Spiritual.
Energetic.

You’ve been a giving source for 9+ months.
Literally building life with your body.
And if you’re breastfeeding? You’re still giving. Daily. Hourly. Constantly.
You are mothering, giving yourself to another 24/7.
Healing and Giving working in unison - it’s going to take time
like tttiiimmmeeee

So if you’re feeling
raw
tired
unsteady

If you’re thinking
I should be there but I’m here
I should be bounced back by now

It’s not because you’re doing it wrong.
It’s because you’re still healing, while giving.
It’s because it’s a timeframe made up by the medical patriarchal system who views healing as linear time frames and in a masculine view point

There’s no switch that flips at 6 weeks.
No timeline that fits all bodies.
No rulebook that can capture your story.

Take your time.
Protect your space.
And know that your recovery is valid
No matter how long it takes. 💛

So, we get asked a lot about the after birth p**p.

Like we mean a LOT!

We understand the đŸ™‹â€â™€ïž because it’s talked about a lot & it seems to be wrapped in fear.

Where do you think this fear come from?
Like you birthed a baby out you va-ja-ja why couldn’t you get out a p**p.

So we wanna talk about the after-birth p**p đŸ’©
But, Not the one right after birth, no, no.
The one down the track.
Like the after birth, p**p, p**p, p**p, p**p, p**p

.

You know, when you’re deep in the newborn haze
Downing coffee instead of water.
Living on nibbles of food.
And on the daily asking yourself every afternoon:
“When did I actually last have a drink?”

That p**p?
That one took me longer to push out than my first baby. No joke.

We want you to pass that p**p with no issues, that you actually go, ‘those gals at The Womanhood Space are wrong because I never had a p**p that took me longer to push out then my baby.’

So for you get there, this what we wanna share with you

💩 Hydrate, like actually hy👏drate👏 - like your p**p depends on it
Great options to try are coconut water, Hydramumma, hydrolyte, and adrenal cocktails (google it).

đŸ„Ł Eat fibre daily! pears, prunes, and tasteless fibre powder in your hydration drinks is an awesome option (like multitasking motherhood right there)

So when it comes to p**ping (& this applies to the actual after birth p**p, the one everyone talk about)

🧘 Don’t force it. Wait until your body is actually like it’s coming girl! Then Breathe. Diaphragmatic breathing is your best friend. (Check YouTube it will show how to breathe your p**p out)

đŸŠ¶ Feet up on a stool (or rolls of toilet paper) hello, squat position.

Actually after birth ⏳ It might take a few days after birth to go p**p. That’s normal. Your body has just done a big work around to labour, so it needs a few days to regroup.

If your💹 Passing wind, You’re on track, things are re grouping and you will be p**ping soon. Promise.

Happy p**ping đŸ’©

“I thought private meant expensive
”

We hear this a lot and we understand why you may think this.

But at The Womanhood Space, we’re different.

Yes, we’re private midwives.

No, it doesn’t mean expensive.

We’re a bulk-billing midwifery clinic.

If you’re Medicare eligible, you won’t pay out of pocket for your care.

Midwifery should be accessible

Not exclusive.

And that’s what we’re here to change.

Private midwife care isn’t just for those with financial means or planning a homebirth.

Private midwifery is for everyone.

Every woman. Every birth. Every story.

We are deeply passionate about midwifery care being the norm and the go to for pregnancy support.

We believe every woman should have access to a dedicated midwife when she needs it most. And At no cost.
