Low platelets in pregnancy? Let’s bring calm, clarity and nourishment 🩶
Gestational thrombocytopenia is usual NBD, mild and safe - and most families can still plan for home birth, water birth and even epidurals depending on the numbers.
While food won’t magically “fix” platelets, it can support healthy blood vibes and postpartum recovery.

Let’s clear up a few myths about home birth.
Research shows planned home birth has similar safety outcomes to hospital birth- with lower rates of intervention.
Home birth isn’t about being rash.
It’s about informed choice, careful screening and skilled care.
It’s not the right choice for everyone- and that’s ok.
What matters is that your choice is informed.
Link up with me to have the evidence clearly explained.

The longer I do this job, the more I realise it’s best to observe and listen… and to sit on your hands unless they or you are needed.
🟣 BLOG POST
This blog post is dedicated to all the midwifery students forced to go along with the ritual of 'assessing contractions' and all the women who labour with unnecessary hands pressing on their bellies.

Every pregnancy is different. Some people want detailed education, others want reassurance. Many want both. 🌸
Working with a midwife in a coaching role means care adapts to your needs and values, and your circumstances. ✨
Pregnancy support should never feel rushed, dismissive or intimidating. It should feel like someone is walking alongside you, helping you trust yourself as you prepare for birth and beyond. 🌸
I’m here for it ✨
Let’s chat… ⬇️

Toward the end of pregnancy, discomfort can feel heavy ~ physically and emotionally.
But this stage isn’t something to control or override.
It’s something to be supported through.
As a private midwife, I provide calm, informed care that helps pregnant people and their partners understand what’s happening ~ and trust the body’s timing, rather than fear it.

Hi. I’m Margaret. Midwife, mother, grandmother and Childbirth Educator. I have an amazing husband and family who indulge me in my passion for educating women and their birth support about their pregnancy, birth and postnatal journey.
I promote a holistic approach to birth and support the belief that labour and birth can be a positive experience and not one that you should fear. Fear whether perceived or real can alter the way in which your approach and view your pregnancy, labour and birth. Birth is a normal biological function and one that our bodies have been designed for. Do you think other living creatures fear birth? No, they actually don’t, so why is it that we do? I explain how this is so and then teach You the tools for a calm, positive, satisfying and supported birth, no matter the path Your birth journey takes!!
And it is for this reason, I chose to become a Hypnobirthing Australia™ Practitioner.
Hypnobirthing is just a fancy word for a positive birth and the Hypno part of the course is only a small portion of the tools and techniques taught to You and Your birth support. Its definitely not some perceived hippy/alternative course. This course is evidence based, relevant to our Australian maternity system, comprehensive and up-to-date. Your birth journey is unique and significant to You, so I’m sure You’ll want to talk about how awesome the journey was to You and Your birth partner. And its not always about a “normal” birth, sometimes for medically indicated reasons, babies may want to make a grander entrance, complete with many to witness this amazing event, and it’s because of this I can also teach You how to have a Positive Caesarean, with a class to help with achieving a Positive surgical experience.
In keeping with this holistic approach, I have also affiliated myself with other birth workers with the same universal birth philosophy to provide you with well rounded education.
What are you waiting for... contact me for a chat about Your educational wants or needs.
Let me show you the Positive Path.
